Product group and product class can be almost anything you want.
Product group, however, can have an impact on customer pricing. If you
look in the price list module, you can price by product group as well as
by part. (we are doing this) Product class seems to be for reporting
purposes only. I'm on 9.04.503a.

The easiest way I always tell people the difference between Product
groups and Part classes is this:

Product Groups define your income, part classes define your expenses.
When you create a product group or a part class, make sure a GL account
is added to each field. Leave NO holes! IF there is a field your THINK
you do not need, just put a suspense account there. You will be happy
you did in the end!

Whatever you do for product groups and part classes, the production,
sales and finance departments should all decide how this setup should

be used in your company as it effects everyone. Product groups play an
important part on how items are manufactured and sold. Part Classes
should be used to segregate inventory and materials for both reporting
and separation of goods. Separation of Finished goods can be helpful in
primary customer reporting, raw material classifications and material
searches.
