Process of Adding Catalog Visibility to Hospitality Products

When simple and complex products have been created, you add catalog visibility to those products. Catalogs are different from revenue categories in that they allow you to group similar products together. These catalogs can then be assigned to groups of users to control who can access the products. By adding catalog visibility to products, you allow them to be accessed by different groups of people in your company.

You can further subdivide catalogs into product categories. For example, when creating a menu catalog, you might create different categories for starters and main courses.

When creating catalogs, you can also provide effective start and end dates for the categories associated with the catalog. For example, you might offer different menu options in winter than those available during the summer.

To add catalog visibility to Hospitality products, perform the following tasks:

1. Creating a Product Catalog
2. Creating a Product Category
3. Adding Products to Catalogs and Categories
4. Adding Access Groups to Catalogs
5. Adding Access Groups to Categories

This process is a step in Roadmap for Setting Up Products and Assets.
