JTL-Links

Thank you for using the English version of the JTL-Guide!
We are currently still building up the English documentation; not all sections have been translated yet. Please note that there may still be German screenshots or links to German pages even on pages that have already been translated. This guide mostly addresses English speaking users in Germany.

Note: On 1 September 2024, JTL introduced new editions that bundle most of the previous individual services into different packages. In order for you to continue working as smoothly as possible, existing customers were automatically switched to the package configuration that best matched their existing contract. The individual packages differ in terms of limitations and/or range of functions. Therefore, some of the features described in the JTL-Guide may not be available to you as part of your booked JTL edition. You can change your package configuration in your JTL customer account. Find out more about the new editions and packages here. Check our FAQ for frequently asked questions about the product editions.

Creating and editing product groups

Your task/initial situation

You are selling different types of goods, for example food products and electronic devices. To keep them statistically distinct and to be able to use different options for delivery, you want to create the appropriate product groups.

General information on product groups

In JTL-Wawi, product groups are used to categorize items into general groups that are independent of the item category. For example, one item can belong to the category “Food supplements” and another to the category “Soft drinks”. Both items, however, can belong to the product group “Food” and are therefore linked.

You can later use the product groups to configure different functions. One possible application are the return reasons in the Returns area. These can be filtered by specific product groups. Product groups can also be used to configure the PackingBench/WMS output for documents.

Every item can only be assigned to a single product group. It is therefore important to pick useful product groups with careful consideration. When creating a product group, it can be helpful to first look at the type of item, e.g. food, clothing, furniture, tools, etc.

Creating product groups

In the toolbar, click Item > Product groups. The dialogue box Creating and editing product groups opens.

The dialogue box “Creating and editing product groups”

Click on Create to add a new product group.
Double-click on the product group you have just created and enter a name. Then press ENTER on your keyboard.

Click Save to close the dialogue box.

Deleting product groups

You can delete existing product groups in the dialogue box Creating and editing product groups.

Select the product group you want to delete and click Delete.
Close the dialogue box by clicking Save. The product group has been deleted.

Attention: Product groups are deleted without any requests for confirmation. Any items that have been assigned to that product group will no longer belong to any product group.

Assigning product groups

Once you have created a product group, you can assign items to it. Every item can only be assigned to a single product group.

Click on the Items icon to go to the item management and navigate to the item you want to assign to a product group.
Open the item master data by double-clicking on the item.
In the pane Categorisation, select a product group from the drop-down menu Product group.
Close the item master data by clicking Save.
