> It should be possible to maintain hierarchy of Products of type MARKETING_PKG_PICK and MARKETING_PKG_AUTO for the custom needs.  Currently OFBiz supports such hierarchy, but the logic specific to Marketing Packages doesn't apply to its sub types.
> The following can be done to add this support:
> # Define a new parent ProductType MARKETING_PKG, the new hierarchy would be GOOD > MARKETING_PKG > MARKETING_PKG_AUTO and GOOD > MARKETING_PKG > MARKETING_PKG_PICK, further sub types can be added to the current leaf types.
> # Change the current code specific to Marketing Packages to take into account sub types.  For this a utility method can be defined which checks for a parent type on the subtype and calls the logic.  The best would be to define a Common Utility method which takes the name of a Type entity, subtype, parent type, and then performs the check.
> After above changes it would not only be possible to write code specific to a ProductType, but also for a specific level in the hierarchy so that it applies to all the sub levels.
