Variants
A Variant is a version of a Product, which can be managed from the Inventory tab. These will be separated by Variant Options, and those distinctions are made in pricing or stock, e.g.
- Size
- Colour
- Fabric Grade
A Variant may be linked to multiple Unique Stock Records.
Each Variant on a product may be given:
- Specific pricing
- Specific stock
- Specific dimensions
- Specific product imagery
- Specific Customisations
- Specific Upsells
- Specific Addons
Other features around the site also link to Variants, including Promotions, Reporting, Order Fulfilment, etc.
Unique Stock Records
A Unique Stock Record is a sub Variant; it is a Variant to which Customisations have been applied.
A Unique Stock Record is also known as a USR
It will inherit all characteristics of the parent Variant, except that it will also show the linked Customisations.
These may be used just for Stock Management and order fulfilment, or as a way of listing specific products for sale.
These are managed via the Inventory tab, and may either be created there, or when a product with Customisations is added to a Purchase Order.
Unless a Unique Stock Record is marked as enabled, its selling price will not be used in the POS, eCommerce or CMS. Instead, the default price of the Variant will be used
Unless a Unique Stock Record is marked as enabled, its cost price will not be used in the POS, eCommerce or CMS. Instead, the default price of the Variant will be used.
