Item Variants

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

Hi,

I created one item and created few variants for it.

For Purchasing and selling, only these variants should be used, but I could create order specifying only item without mentioning the variant and I could process it.

So,how to create purchase order only for variants and not for the corresponding item.

Is there any other way of creating item variants instead of entering code and description ?

Thank you.

    Yes, I tried it too.

    purchase order mentioned only with item info is getting processed for the items with variants where variants alone need to be stocked.

    Hi harikka,

    You can use table cross-reference table to assing code for Item+Variant and it is way to enter one code to documents and system will put item and variant.

    If you creating variant for each and every item then put validation before posting the transaction.

    Thank you.

    Suppose if I forget to mention variant in order, then it would become useless because I don't want to stock items. So is there a way to avoid it?

    No you cannot enter variant without item as it is linked together.

    As well as it is not mandatory to enter variant code even though it is created as variant are used to avoid to create as many item for different specifications of an item.
