For example, the Helix 15 mm Stent is a leaf-level product in the Stent group of products.
Lot # Tracking	Select this field if the product will be tracked by lot number, either for purposes of disbursement tracking or for inventory tracking. If you select this field: You must define lot numbers for the product as described in the table in About Samples and Promotional Items Settings. For more information on defining lot numbers, see Defining Lot Numbers for Samples. You should not check the Inventory field. This field is read-only if the Samples Lots Enabled system preference is set to FALSE. Only products of type Sample, Device, and Equipment can tracked by lot number. To use lot number tracking for products of other types, see Configuring Lot Numbers for Other Products.
Inventory	Applies to products that will be tracked in inventory by product name rather than by lot number. If you check this field, you should not check the Lot # Tracking field. For more information, see the table in the topic Product Categorization Settings and then the table in the topic About Samples and Promotional Items Settings.

Requires Approval	This field is for Siebel Medical Handheld.

Rollup Level	This field is for Siebel Medical Handheld. It applies only to root-level products. (A root-level product is one that has no parent.) This field determines what levels of products are included in data rollup and also which levels of product appear in the inventories in Siebel Medical. For example, if Rollup Level is 3 for a product hierarchy that has six levels, the products at level 6, 5, 4, and 3 appear in the Medical inventories. The root product (level 1) and its immediate children (level 2) do not appear.

Route Used	This field is for Adverse Events and Complaints Management.
Sales Product	Check this field (and the Orderable field) for any product or service that your company actually sells (and will therefore be included in a sales order). For more information, see the table in the topic Product Categorization Settings.
Short Days	This field is for Siebel Medical Handheld. An asset or lot for this product is short dated this many days before expiration. This field is also used by products of type Sample for similar functionality. Once a sample is short dated during a call execution, the pharmaceutical sales representative will be able to view the samples by default: which can help facilitate sample disbursing before expiry.
Therapeutic Class	The therapeutic class (or market) of the product. There is no functionality associated with this drop-down list. Market type (or therapeutic class) functionality is tied to the Parent Product field; a new market is added by creating a new record in the Products view and setting the Type field to Market.
