Working with Product Groups in Web Commerce

Use the web site to create your own product groups. If you regularly buy certain products, alone or together, add them into a custom product group to speed your ordering by eliminating repetitive searches. You can also create a product group that contains all the products on a bid.

You can create or edit product groups at any time. Depending on how the web site is set for you, you may also view product groups assigned to associated bill-to and ship-to customers.

From the My Product Groups menu, select Create A New Product Group to display the My Product Group NEW page.
