This element is used to combine features in families. These feature classes can be used to carry out plausibility and completeness checks with respect to the valid features.
The defined feature classes (path 1) can be assigned to series or product groups via FEATURE_CLASS_REF in SERIE and PRODUCT_GROUP. There is no relationship with respect to a priority between feature classes on series and item level. The number of features that are valid for an item results from the total number of features declared in the items product group.
All features that are referenced via the elements in PRICE_FEATURE_GROUP (path 3), PRICE_FEATURE_BASE_PRICE_GROUP_REF (path 4) and FINISH (path 5) must be contained in the feature class of the item.
The features used via the elements RESTRICTION_REF (path 6) and RESTRICTION_REF (path 8) must also be contained in the item's feature class.
