Before Deep Diving into the New Structure let’s Take A Quick Reminder
Products vs Components
Both Products and Components follow the same structural logic and use the same tabs.
A Product is usually a finished good (e.g., T-shirt, Jacket).
A Component is something used inside a product (e.g., Fabric, Zipper).
The layout is consistent across both — which makes it easier to manage complex product structures.
Where Can I Find Products and Components?
You can access them from the left navigation under Products:
New Profile Overview Layout
Both Products and Components follow a consistent structure. When you open a Style or Component detail page, you will see the following main tabs:
1. Overview tab
This is where you manage the core information. To edit this information, click on the “Edit” button at the top right of the product’s detail view.
General Details
For example:
Name
Product or Component codes
Level and type
Description
Core attributes and specific attributes
Eco Footprint
This section contains environmental and sustainability-related data.
We moved these fields here to keep sustainability information separate from general product data.
This information is separated from general details to keep operational data and environmental data clearly structured and easier to manage.
2. BOM (Bill of Materials)
The BOM tab is where you add and manage what your product or component is built with. Now, products and components can now contain multiple BOMs. This is especially useful when:
You have multi-sourcing
Variants use different components
You produce in different regions
Important: To add a component to a BOM it must be created prior in the components tab. For a detailed step-by-step guide, see the “Manage BOMs” Help Center article.
3. Materials — What It’s Made Of
The Materials tab is where you can create new material composition lists, define material breakdown (e.g., 92% Cotton, 8% Elastane), and edit and update existing lists. Now, products and components can contain multiple raw material composition lists (RMCs) and define nested material structures (e.g. 90% Cotton → 50% Recycled Cotton, 50% Organic Cotton). This allows you to:
Manage different material versions.
Define material compositions more granularly.
For a detail step-by-step guide, see the “Manage Material Composition Lists” Help Center article.
4. Hierarchy (Variants & SKUs)
The new Hierarchy tab is where you manage your product structure (Style → Variant (Color) → SKU (Size)). Here you can create and manage:
Variants (e.g., color variations)
SKUs (e.g., size variations)
Remember:
Each by default level inherits information from its parent unless you edit it.
Variants inherit information from the Style.
SKUs inherit information from the Variant.
If you change something at a lower level, that field becomes independent and future parent changes will not override it.
For more information, see the “How inheritance works” Help Center article.
5. Certifications
The Certifications tab allows you to create and manage certificates linked to this Product or Component. You can link products and components to Product-level certificates Transaction certificates. Additionally, certain certifications may automatically trigger badges. Now, you can link certificates directly at different hierarchy levels:
Style level
Variant level
SKU level
Important: Certificates will now only be linked to the specific asset and level you select. They will not automatically inherit across all levels unless explicitly linked.
6. DPP (Digital Product Passport Section)
All DPP-related functionality is now grouped under one section: DPP
Inside this dropdown, you’ll find:
Supply Chain:
Here you can link mapped or traced supply chains
This connects your product to its traceability information.
QR Code:
Generate QR codes that can be: Printed on labels or shared outside of the platform
These QR codes connect to the Digital Product Passport.
Badges:
Badges translate your product data into end- consumer translations of supply chain information, materials and claims.
Learn how to trigger different badges and more information about them here.
Webshop Preview:
Here you will find a proper preview of how your product’s DPP information will appear in your webshop.
What Changed — In Simple Terms
Basic product information is now clearly grouped under Overview.
General attribute data are found under General Details
Sustainability fields are grouped under Eco Footprint.
Material compositions has its own Materials tab.
Structural components are managed in BOM.
Variants and SKUs are grouped under Style Hierarchy.
Supply chain and DPP-related features are grouped together.
