Adds a product or group to the set.
A product set, its length configuration and its prices travel together. Changing the length configuration changes which columns exist in the price table.
Price table
One row per product, one column per offered length, priced per piece. A blank cell means that length is not offered for that product and the optimizer will not produce it.
Product Pricing — grid view
Auto-Fill Prices writes every offered cell from one rate per group. The rate is applied per thousand board feet and scaled by the product's board footage, by a length multiplier, and by the product's wane settings, so a product permitting more wane prices lower than one that does not.
