Categories, brands and colour/size variants

Categories classify goods, brands identify brands and variants represent combinations such as colour and size. Each variant remains a separate stock item.

Steps

1. Maintain categories and brands under Data, then assign products correctly. Selecting a category tree is different from editing that tree.
2. When variants are needed, have the administrator enable them and maintain attributes, value groups and templates.
3. Switch Item Data to the style view, add a style and choose attribute values alongside its code, name and prices.
4. Review the generated combinations and barcode rules before saving. When extending an existing style, distinguish existing and newly generated variants.
5. Enter quantities in the style matrix or scan a specific variant barcode. Check missing sizes as well as total style stock.
