Product Types are how your Organization classifies its products. Product Types are the top-level type of product, not the specific product within that classification. For example, the top-level name may be "Sealcoat" and later a specific product of "AP4 Sealcoat" may be created under that Product Type. 

Bitumio has its own classification; however, you can rename any of these classification to be how you would like them to appear in Proposals, Work Orders, etc.
