# Overview of Products
The Products page allows you to manage all products sourced from your suppliers and use them to organise compliance requirements within your supply chain, including packaging compliance under the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (EU) 2025/40 (PPWR).
Products help you move from general supplier compliance to product-level compliance management. By linking products to suppliers and requirement rules, you can request documents only when they are relevant to a specific product. For PPWR, products are also the basis of your packaging structure, conformity assessment and EU Declaration of Conformity (DoC).
Within the Products page, you can:
- Create and manage your product portfolio
- Add products by type: SKU, ingredient, raw material, packaging unit, packaging component or packaging base material
- Build your packaging structure by linking packaging units and components to your SKUs
- Check the PPWR conformity status and DoC status of each product
- Connect products to organisations (suppliers)
- Use products in product-specific requirement rules
- Organise products using tags
- Define seasonality per country
- Add supplier-specific product identifiers
- Upload products [**individually**](https://helpcenter.simvia.com/knowledge-base/how-to-add-a-single-product?hsLang=en) or in [**bulk**](https://helpcenter.simvia.com/knowledge-base/how-to-add-products-in-bulk?hsLang=en)
- Choose which columns you see in the overview
Using products allows you to send more targeted document and data requests, reducing unnecessary communication with suppliers while improving compliance monitoring.
Products can be added manually or imported in bulk and can be linked directly to suppliers in your supply chain.
Setting up products is optional if your organisation doesn’t use product-based requirement rules. For PPWR compliance, products are required, because the conformity assessment and the DoC are based on your packaging units and components.
