Product2

Represents a product that your company sells.

This object has several fields that are used only for quantity and revenue schedules (for example, annuities). Schedules are available only for orgs that have enabled the products and schedules features. If these features aren’t enabled, the schedule fields don’t appear in the DescribeSObjectResult, and you can’t query, create, or update the fields.

Product2 objects represent products. As of API version 8.0, the Product object is no longer available. Requests that contain Product are refused, and responses don’t contain the Product object.

It describes whether a product is a simple product, a variation parent, or a product variation. Possible values are: `Simple`—This product has no variations `VariationParent`—This product is a variation parent. It’s the base product for one or more product variations and, though it has its own stock-keeping unit (SKU), isn’t a sellable entity. Instead, it’s the parent of sellable entities—its variations. `Variation`—This product is a variation of a parent product. Each variation has its own SKU. When the value of `ProductClass` = `VariationParent`, it never changes. The value of `ProductClass` changes between `Simple` and `Variation` when you attach or detach a `ProductAttribute` record to the product. If you attach a `ProductAttribute` record to a product, then the product’s `ProductClass` value changes to `Variation`. Conversely, when you detach all `ProductAttribute` records from a product, the `ProductClass` value changes to `Simple`. The default value is `Simple`.

Schedule Enabled Flags

When enabling the schedules feature, you can decide whether to enable quantity schedules, revenue schedules, or both. In addition, you can use the API to control quantity and revenue scheduling at the product level via the CanUseQuantitySchedule and CanUseRevenueSchedule flags. A value of true for either flag indicates that the product and any OpportunityLineItems can have a schedule of that type. These flags can be set when creating or updating Product2 records.

Default Schedule Fields

The remaining schedule fields for this object define default schedules. Default schedule values are used to create an OpportunityLineItemSchedule when an OpportunityLineItem is created for the Product.

The default schedule fields support the following valid values (all fields are also nillable).

Field	Valid Values
RevenueScheduleType	Divide, Repeat
RevenueInstallmentPeriod	Daily, Weekly, Monthly, Quarterly, Yearly
NumberOfRevenueInstallments	Integer from 1 to 150, inclusive.
QuantityScheduleType	Divide, Repeat
QuantityInstallmentPeriod	Daily, Weekly, Monthly, Quarterly, Yearly
NumberOfQuantityInstallments	Integer from 1 to 150, inclusive

When you attempt to set the schedule fields when creating or updating, the API applies cross-field integrity checks. The integrity requirements are:

If the schedule type is nil, the installment period and number of installments must be nil.
If the schedule type is set to any value, then the installment period and number of installments must be non-nil.

Any create or update that fails these integrity checks is rejected with an error.

These default schedule fields, CanUseQuantitySchedule, and CanUseRevenueSchedule, are restricted picklist fields and are available only if the org has the schedules feature enabled.

Usage

Use this object to define the default product information for your org. This object is associated by reference with Pricebook2 objects via PricebookEntry objects. The same product can be represented in different price books as price book entries. In fact, the same product can be represented multiple times (as separate PricebookEntry records) in the same price book with different prices or currencies. A product can only have one price for a given currency within the same price book. To be used in custom price books, all standard prices must be added as price book entries to the standard price book.

You can query the products that have been configured for your org. For example, you can allow your client application to obtain valid product IDs for use when configuring PricebookEntry records via the API. Your client application can perform the following tasks on PricebookEntry objects:

Query
Create for the standard price book or custom price books.
Update
Delete
Change the IsActive field when creating or updating records

This object is defined only for those orgs that have products enabled as a feature. If the org doesn’t have the products feature, this object doesn’t appear in the describeGlobal() call, and you can't describe or query this object.

If you try to delete a product via the API but there's an opportunity that uses that product, the delete fails. The workaround is to delete the product in the user interface, which gives you an option to archive the product.

On opportunities and opportunity products, the workflow rules, validation rules, and Apex triggers fire when an update to a child opportunity product or schedule causes an update to the parent record. This means your custom application logic is enforced when there are updates to the parent record, ensuring higher data quality and compliance with your organization’s business policies.
