Creating Simple Hospitality Products

In Siebel Hospitality, a simple product is a single component product, such as table, chair, beverage, and so on. You can create simple products that can then be grouped to create complex products. For more information about creating products, see the chapter on basic product administration in Siebel Product Administration Guide.
