# 3. Create a Product
To create a new product, navigate to 'Products' in the BestInvoicing menu to the left:
In [BestInvoicing](https://www.bestinvoing.com), a **product** always belongs to a **product group**. How you name a product group and which products you link to it will depend on your business type and commercial activities.
A product group may relate to specific products, but also to more general services. Some examples:
| PRODUCT GROUP | PRODUCT |
| -------------- | ----------------------------------- |
| Flour | Cornflour |
| | Whole wheat flour |
| Shipping costs | < 10 km radius |
| | 10 km - 50 km radius |
| Certificates | Conformity check fire extinguishers |
| | Conformity sprinkler system |
| Labor | Tiling |
| | Leveling |
### Creating a Product Group
The first step is creating a product group.
1. Click the green button 'Add Product Group' at the top right corner
2. Give your Product Group a name and click 'Add'
In this tutorial, the BestInvoicing user is a fictional telecom company. A first product group is called 'Appliances'.
### Creating a Product
You can now add individual products. Click the blue 'View' button - located next to the name of your product group. You'll see that there are no products in the list yet: you can create these by clicking the green button 'Add Product' at the top right corner.
The product automatically receives a serial number and the product group name is completed (if you have already created multiple product groups, you can select another product group from the drop-down menu).
Name your product and (optionally) provide a description. If desired, you can also enter the purchase price, sales price, appropriate VAT percentage, ...
{% hint style="success" %}
Here you'll automatically see the default VAT percentage, if you use e.g. co-contracting or intra-community transactions on the invoice, this will be adjusted automatically.
{% endhint %}
The abovementioned VAT systems are related to specific EU-regulations. For more country-specific options, refer to a local version of the Software.
{% hint style="info" %}
Is the price of your product variable? Then price it at $0 or give it a commonly used price, and manually adjust this later per invoice.
{% endhint %}
Click the green button 'Add' at the bottom to save your product. You are now directed to the completed product file (in this example: a router).
To go back to the overview of your product group, click the white 'Back' button at the top. Your product group (example: Appliances) will now already contain one product (example: Router).
To add additional products within this group, click the green "Add Product" button at the top right.
### Create Additional Products/Groups
Do you want to add another product group?
1. Click 'Products' in the menu to the left to display the overview of existing product groups.
2. Create a new product group by clicking the green button 'Add Product Group' at the top.
3. Name this group: you're ready to add products to it.
In the example below, a second product group called 'Labor' was created. This includes e.g. the services provided by the company: installation and connection of the appliances.
Once the products or services you need are entered, you are ready to create an invoice.
