Sales Products Initial Concepts

Sales Products Support a Single Product Life Cycle

Sales products functionality supports a single product life cycle, called Production. If this default life cycle meets your business requirements, no implementation steps are required around product life cycle.

Sales Products Use the Supplied Root Item Class

By default, sales products functionality uses the supplied Root item class to classify products. Additional classifications are only available if you license the Product Hub.

Sales Products Support Custom Inventory Item Status Codes

When setting up products, you can use custom inventory Item Status codes. These codes don't have to be set as Active, either. As long as you have the attributes like Eligible to Sell and Eligible to Service enabled, then products with custom inventory Item Status codes show up in your sales applications.

This change applies to these flows:

A user adds a product to the product catalog
A user adds a product to a transaction (for example, they add a product to an opportunity or lead using the standard list of values or by browsing the catalog)
You add a product to a price book
Select product using custom product dynamic choice list
