Hi Stephen, The fields you labeled as *Product ID *and *Parent ID* correspond to the *id* and *parentCriterionId* attributes of AdGroupCriterionService.ProductPartition <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201409/AdGroupCriterionService.ProductPartition>, respectively.
The *ProductPartition*s in your example are a bit of a special case, because they all have as their caseValue <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201409/AdGroupCriterionService.ProductPartition#caseValue> instances of the *ProductDimension* subclass of ProductOfferId <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201409/AdGroupCriterionService.ProductOfferId>. The only meaningful attribute of that dimension type is its value <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201409/AdGroupCriterionService.ProductOfferId#value>, which is simply the Offer ID of the corresponding product in Merchant Center. The AdWords API does not have any additional information beyond that, such as the product description, etc. For other types of *ProductDimensions*, such as ProductBrand <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201409/AdGroupCriterionService.ProductBrand>, the value attribute is far more meaningful, e.g., with a *value* of "Nike" for products where brand = Nike, and those values will appear in the *ProductGroup* field in reports. As far as how you can best show this information to your users and meet RMF requirements, you can contact our API Compliance Team using this form <https://services.google.com/fb/forms/apicontact/>, and they may have some suggestions. They can also clear up any other RMF questions you may have. Hope that helps!
