For example, one item can belong to the category \u201cFood supplements\u201d and another to the category \u201cSoft drinks\u201d. Both items, however, can belong to the product group \u201cFood\u201d and are therefore linked.<\/p>\n<p>You can later use the product groups to configure different functions. One possible application are the return reasons in the <span class=\"highlight\">Returns<\/span> area. These can be filtered by specific product groups. Product groups can also be used to configure the <span class=\"highlight\">PackingBench\/WMS<\/span> output for documents.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"d-flex align-items-center hl-wawi\" id=\"creating-product-groups\">Creating product groups <span id='anchor-creating-product-groups' data-href='#creating-product-groups' class='far fa-link' data-anchor><\/span><\/h2><ol start=\"1\" class=\"list-reset step mb-5 list-wawi normal-step\">\n\t<li >\n\tIn the toolbar, click <span class=\"highlight\">Item &gt; Product groups<\/span>.
