Create a Product Class

Create a product class and use the class to define the decomposition. This saves you time over having to create the same decomposition relationships and their mappings for each individual product.

1. From the Lightning App Launcher, click Vlocity Product Console.
2. Under the Product Management section, create a new product.
3. In the New Product dialog, enter the following Object Type and General Properties information. For example:

   • Object Type: Cloud Storage Product Specification.

   • Name: Cloud Storage Class.

   • Product Code: C-CSP-001

   • Specification Type: Product

4. Click Save.
5. From the General Properties facet, enter the following additional General Properties information. For example:

   • Product Description: Product class used to map one decomposition relationship to multiple commercial products.

   • Status: Active

6. Enter the Effectivity information. When selecting a date, the time is automatically populated. You can leave the default time .
7. Click Save. Once saved, the General Properties facet of the new product opens.
8. Click the Attribute Properties facet. Notice the Storage Limit attribute is inherited from the Cloud Storage Product Spec object type.
9. Click the Details link adjacent to the Storage Limit attribute.

   Notice the Attribute Metadata includes a Storage Unit picklist with several storage limit values, such as 100GB, 1TB, etc. These values pass from the child products through the product class to the technical product. As shown in the Product Class Decomposition diagram, your new Cloud Storage Class now has the Storage Limit attribute. However, by default, new products are created with a record type of Product, and it needs to be Class.

10. In the Lightning navigation bar, click Products.
11. Locate and click Cloud Storage Class. Notice the Product Record Type is set to the default value, which is Product.
12. Click the Change Record Type icon for the Product Record Type field.
13. Set the Change Product Record Type to Class and click Next.
14. Click Save in the Edit Cloud Storage Class dialog.
