This article explains how to create and manage Profile groups.
- Setting up and scheduling Post-roast blends (Roast and Commerce - All tiers)

What is a Profile group?
A Profile group consists of multiple Profiles that collectively produce the same product or product component, specifically for Post-roast blends.
This grouping enables you to define products or components using various Profiles, ensuring flexibility and consistency in your production process.
Example:
Based on the quantity of coffee ordered, you may roast both full and half batches. To achieve a consistent final product, you have created a distinct Roast Profile for each batch size.
By organizing these Profiles into a Profile group, you can quickly assess the total amount of a specific product you have produced.
