I think you need to have UseModifier prod_group above the CommonAdjust 
but not exactly sure or even if that's how you access it.  Try it, 
though.  Worst case scenario you can use the &tag_data function to fetch 
the prod_group value from the db.

Use $item->{code} instead.

Keep in mind that $item is not a direct refernce to the products 
database.  You need to either explicitly include ceartain fields with 
UseModifier or fetch them with &tag_data().  I know of only these fields 
that are included by default: code, quantity, price, and any attributes 
(code being the sku).

(scroll down to the bit referncing &.
