 + 
 +**PPG Product** 
 + 
 +A product can be set as a PPG.  To do this, create a product grouping definition, then a product can be assigned to that PPG Group by selecting it in the PPG Group dropdown.  A PPG group can be assigned to ONLY ONE product.   
 + 
 +The PPG Product assigned to the group in product admin will AUTOMATICALLY be assigned to the PPG group.  This product will NOT display as a member of the PPG group in product grouping association. 
 +The PPG product can not be directly added to a contract, but the PPG Product Group can be added. 
 + 
 + 
 +Retail claim lines that come in at the PPG product level can be settled by mapping the lines to the PPG's product sku.  The PPG sku behaves as any other SKU on the claim side of things. NOTE: Fixed price and percent contracts, which depend on having a price for the sku will work only if the client submits pricing for the PPG's sku. 
 +Clients with price lists will be able to submit pricing for these PPG skus the same way they would for a regular product.   
 +

 +

 +**Pricing Tabs** 
 + 
 +**Price List, Price Class and Price Company**- displays values as defined in [[pricing_admin|]]. 
 + 
 +**Price Sale** - lists the generated prices from sales data (1040_Sale data feed). We generate two prices from every line of sale data, that way we know what price to use for FOB contracts / Delivered contracts. If there is no “freight”, then the FOB and Delivered prices we generate will be the same because that’s what the data says. If there is freight, those FOB / Delivered numbers will be different.

-If you have the technical resources available, we can work with you to set up an automated feed right out of your ERP system that updates your product list daily/weekly.  This way you don't have to worry about missing out on new products not being available for contract creation.  Please call us if this is the route you want to take.
