Product Administration Guide > Customizable Product Rule Designer > About Class-Product Rule InheritanceYou can designate a customizable product as a class-product and then add it to a product class. When you do this, all products belonging to the class and its subclasses inherit the class-product's structure and its configuration rules. For example you define the following rule in a class-product and name the rule Rule 1: Any item from Relationship A requires selection of any item of Relationship B You can control how this rule is inherited by other customizable products you add to the class containing the class-product. You do this by inserting a rule in these products that has the same name as the one in the class-product. For example, you have a product class containing a class-product. The class-product contains Rule 1, as shown above. The class also contains three customizable products, CP1, CP2, and CP3. Table 22 shows how inheritance of Rule 1 from the class-product works. You can use named rules to control how rules are inherited from class-products.
