Use the Product Offering Categories tab to organize your products in groups in Sales and Order Management.

## Vorbereitungen

Role required: sn_prd_pm.product_catalog_admin and sn_prd_pm.product_catalog_manager

## Warum und wann dieser Vorgang ausgeführt wird

Product catalog categories help organize products into groups, which makes it easier for order agents to find products while creating orders or building quotes. Catalog categories are associated with a catalog. For more
information about catalogs, see [Create a product offering catalog](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/ljsaJVCWn5zuYjXXGjTKzg "Create a product catalog that lists the product offerings available to your customers. Catalogs are top-level entities in the catalog hierarchy. Catalogs have categories and categories can have sub-categories or product offers.").

Product offering catalog categories must be published before products can be added.

This procedure explains the Product Offering Category tab. To set up categories before adding products, see [Create a product offering category](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/ZqYbHrkLiD_ZnTOghCaprg "Define a product offering category used to organize similar product offerings in a catalog. Product categories make it easier for agents to browse and navigate product offerings when creating opportunities, quotes, and orders.").
