What this page is for
This page holds custom product groups — your own hierarchical groups and subgroups that let you slice, filter, and act on products across the whole app. However you naturally think about your catalog — by brand, by planner, by supplier, by product line — you can build that structure here. Groups aren’t just labels. They power the Groups filter that appears on many pages, so once a group exists you can pull up exactly those products anywhere you plan. The filter supports union mode (products in any of the selected groups) and intersection mode (only products in all of the selected groups), so you can widen or narrow your view.What you can set
| Column | What it means |
|---|---|
| Name | The group or subgroup name — and, when you expand it, the products inside it. |
| Shared MOQ | A minimum order quantity shared across all products in the group — a group-level ordering constraint (MOQ = Minimum Order Quantity). Use it when a set of products must be ordered together to a combined minimum. |
| Constraints | Production-line constraints, for companies that plan against production lines. |
How it affects planning
Groups mostly shape how you work rather than what the engine computes — they let you focus on a slice of the catalog and act on it in bulk. Two settings do feed planning directly: a Shared MOQ applies a combined minimum across the group’s products, and Constraints carry production-line limits for companies that use them.Step by step: build a group and use it as a filter
- Create a group and give it a clear Name (for example a brand or a planner).
- Add subgroups if you want a hierarchy (for example a brand split into product lines).
- Add products to the group, or drag products in from another group.
- Set a Shared MOQ if the group’s products must be ordered to a combined minimum.
- Anywhere you plan, open the Groups filter and pick the group — switch between union and intersection to widen or narrow the selection.
Example
You group products by planner so each person can filter the supply plan down to just their own products. You also keep a brand hierarchy with a subgroup per product line. When two brands share a co-packing minimum, you set a Shared MOQ on that group so orders respect the combined minimum. Later you filter by “Brand A” and “West-coast” in intersection mode to see only the overlap.Tip: Groups you build here drive the Filter & display controls on the supply plan and elsewhere, so a little structure here saves a lot of clicking later. Product-level fields live on General.
