# Product Ruleset Settings

> Define the conditions and validations used in Proposal Departments to ensure data accuracy and streamline supplier onboarding.

A Ruleset is a collection of rules applied to proposals through the **Proposal Departments** feature. Each Ruleset contains one or more rule groups, and each group consists of rules that define conditions for individual item attributes.

Merchants and suppliers use **Product Rulesets** to set expectations for proposal submissions, ensuring all product data meets the required standards.

* Rulesets enforce validation on items and attributes during the proposal process.
* Only items that meet the defined criteria will be accepted into the proposal.
* Every merchant must create at least two Rulesets:
  * One for Merchant-side validation
  * One for Supplier-side validation
  * Refer to the [Proposal Departments](/v3/dropship/dropship-retailers/settings/proposal-departments) page for setup details.

## Creating and Managing Product Rulesets

Your new Ruleset will appear in the list on the **Product Rulesets** page. However, you must still create the Rule Group and Rules within the group.

   * Description (optional): Notes about what the group contains.

4. Click **Save**.

The **Rule Group** is created. You can now add and configure validation rules for individual attributes in this group.
