Product Group Fields

To export documents such as invoices and credit notes to Certinia Accounting from SCM, each item master record must be associated with an SCM product group. SCM product groups are linked to Salesforce products. You can create new product groups on the Codes tab.

Here is a description of the fields and buttons that SCM Accounting Connector adds to the Product Group object. For more information about the fields and buttons included in SCM, Product Group Fields.
