	<HelpTopic><AimSection><Paragraph>Use this session to define <Link href="/baanerp/ti/glossary/glossary#000088" role="glossary">families</Link>. A family is a group of products with common <Link href="/baanerp/ti/glossary/glossary#000090" role="glossary">features</Link>.</Paragraph>

		<GeneralSection><Paragraph>Click Features by Family on the <GUIRef href="" role="manual">Specific</GUIRef> menu to start the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/grt/tigrt0102m000" role="session">Features by Family (tigrt0102m000)</GUIRef> session. In this session you can link features (defined in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/grt/tigrt0101m000" role="session">Features (tigrt0101m000)</GUIRef> session) to the family.</Paragraph>
			<Paragraph>When you insert a new family, SSA ERP shows the main family group (as defined in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/grt/tigrt0199m000" role="session">Structure Levels (tigrt0199m000)</GUIRef> session) with the underlying families. If you select an underlying family and click OK, SSA ERP generates a family code or produces another window with a family group that is one level down in the structure. Continue selecting until the family code is generated. You can then start the same procedure again at the highest level to generate another family code.</Paragraph>
