The summary product code is used mainly to categorize product sales by lumping several other product codes together . For example. If you were a car dealership, you might categorize compacts as product code 101, mid-size as product code 102 and full size as product code 103. All of these product codes would be summarized into Summary Product code 100, so that when you ran a summarized sales report, you would see information for product code 100 only i.e. all cars. If you were to run the same sales report as detailed, you would see various size cars listed separately.
