A product variable can be used to make what would otherwise have been a single product into multiple products. These products can then be assigned to different commission groups in the schedule. 

Usage

Product variables can provide a ton of control over commission payout structures in RPM. By combining multiple different columns on your import matrix/transfers to create a unique product in RPM you can then use commission groups to set detailed commission payouts. 

A product variable can be used for the bases of a variable based tier structure.
