The "Combination price groups" feature enables the ability for front-end to retrieve multiple Combination price records. Once a group is set up, the system can retrieve all related Combination prices at once using group as an identifier.  

Additionally, the Combination price groups simplify the Combination price setup by reducing the number of records and shortening the combination, making it easier to manage and maintain. 

To understand the function of Combination price groups clearly, take this table configuration as an example: 

In order to set up the pricing for all possible selection of tabletop and legs, there must be 27 Combination prices. In this case, the colors for tabletop and legs are under the same master editions.

          - Color-Legs-Tabletop:Red-Steel-Wood:955

With the Combination price groups, this is the possible Combination prices setup. In this case, the colors for tabletop and legs are under the same master editions.  

Combination price groups: 

          - Create and assign the group “Tabletop” to Master editions of all tabletop materials and all colors. 

          - Create and assign the group “Legs” to Master editions of all leg materials and all colors. 

With the above group setup, the number of Combination prices is reduced to 18 records and the combination key and value is shorter.
