What are the different product types?
The product type defines what kind of order you will be placing and therefore what kind of work needs to be performed.
Master
The master product is the initial or main product you want to create. All orders must contain either a master product or refer to a master product when creating a variation.
Model variation
The model variation is an alternative or modification of a master product that you have previously created, for example, different legs for an armchair previously created or a different size of product.
Material variation
The material variation is an alternative or modification of a master product that you have previously created, for example, different colour or material type or different artwork on an FMCG product.
