# Product defaults

> Set up categories, variants, supply chains and certifications once, for every new product.

Product defaults are reusable settings that new products start with. Set them up once and you stop entering the same data on every product.

To open them, go to **Passports** and click **Defaults**. You need a role that can manage products.

## Edit the defaults

Click **Edit global defaults**, make your changes, then click **Save defaults**. **Cancel** throws your changes away.

## What you can set

> [accordion] Categories
>
> Your own product categories. For each one you can set a name, the shared category it maps to, an HS code, and whether it is the default.
>
> Mapping your category to a shared category matters: LUXIMA uses it to estimate environmental impact. An unmapped category shows "Not mapped".

> [accordion] Variants
>
> Variant packages, such as your standard size run. Size and colour are built in, and you can add your own.
>
> New products get one variant for each size in the package, unless a size is set on the product.

> [accordion] Material origin
>
> Presets for where your materials come from. **AI autofill** can suggest them for you.

> [accordion] Supply chain
>
> Supply-chain templates: saved sequences of stages. One can be the default. You apply a template to a product in the editor. See [Origin and supply chain](https://docs.luxima.io/products/origin-and-supply-chain.md).

> [accordion] Certifications
>
> Which of your company's certificates apply to which products: **All products**, chosen **Categories**, or chosen **Items**.
>
> The certificates themselves are added in **Organization details**.

> [!NOTE]
>
> Care instructions, packaging, and durability and end-of-life are company-wide defaults. Set them in **Organization details**.

## How defaults reach a product

* **New products.** When you [create a product](https://docs.luxima.io/products/create-a-product.md), **Apply company defaults** is ticked. Leave it ticked to start the product with your defaults.
* **Existing products.** Changing a default does not rewrite products you already have. In the editor you can add default certifications or apply a supply-chain template to a product yourself.
