Group of Variants
A Group of Variants is the family record that connects concrete Product Variants sharing one Group identity. It represents the common product context while each member product keeps its own Variant identity values.
Older content may call this a Product Series or Master Product. The current UI term is Group of Variants.
What belongs to the group
The category identity policy marks some identity attributes as Group-level and others as Variant-level. The Group checksum is built from the shared identity components. Each concrete variant has its own Variant checksum and Product checksum.
A group can also carry shared family governance and shared group-scoped relationships or media where the current feature explicitly supports them.
What it is not
- It is not a concrete purchasable offer; price, stock, quantity, and delivery terms belong to catalogs and offers.
- It is not a duplicate product.
- It is not a Company Product Overlay. Overlay is not implemented.
