- Product Object Types in EPC
Product object types help you streamline your product catalog by creating classes of products that have similar characteristics. A product object type is a reusable entity that describes a common set of fields and attributes as well as the layouts for all linked products. You can use object types to group products with similar characteristics to ensure consistent behavior and application of rules. - Product Specifications in EPC
A product (or product specification) is a fundamental entity for which you define parameters (attributes or fields), such as bundling, pricing rules, fulfillment rules, and compatibility rules. - Product Attributes in EPC
Products may or may not have attributes, which you can use in Industries CPQ to customize a product, to filter products to find the right one for customers, or to set pricing for a product. - Product Bundles and Cardinality in EPC
A product bundle is a set of products sold together. Products are bundled using a “Has-A” Containment relationship as either a child or a realization. A product can have one or more product child items (or PCIs), and you can define cardinality for each. PCIs can be a single product or a product bundle, which allows you to create product bundles within product bundles. - Types of Products in a Bundle in EPC
When adding products to a bundle, you can mark them as optional, required, or virtual.
