Product group
As a product group or product line in which it is business administration , a group of materials , goods or services referred to in a tight sales are -relevant relationship. Criteria for the assignment are, for example, requirements or production- related relationships. The individual products belonging to a product group can be complementary goods or substitute goods such as integrated components as well as accessories and supplies that are the same in relation to one another and that satisfy the same needs .
Product groups form the middle level of the product hierarchy between product family and product .
In the public budget and finance sector, individual product groups in the budget are usually assigned their own sub-budget. Examples of product groups here are: fire protection , social facilities , promotion of sport .
In addition to freely definable product groups, there are laws and ordinances that define their own product groups for certain contexts, such as in the list of resources of the statutory health insurance according to § 139 of the fifth book of the Social Code (SGB V) or in the context of the CE marking .
