Create Item Variants?

Posted on by Community Member

Hi forum,

I'm currently working in a trial environment of Business Central. I'm not seeing an obvious method of creating item variants.

Ideally I would create a single item card (Men's T-Shirt), with 2 variant types (COLOR, SIZE), each type has 5 values [(XS, S, M, L, XL), (BLUE, BLACK, RED, ETC)]. Is there an elegant way to handle this or am I restricted to creating multiple item cards and coding the variants/values into the name of the items (Men's T-Shirt: BLUE_XS, Men's T-Shirt: BLUE_S)?

Thanks,

Jake

Try using attributes. You can make one for size and have all available sizes listed, then one for color and list all colors. There is even a filter by attribute option in the ribbon so you can then search for all Yellow items as an example.

Mary, I have the same requirements as Jake but I need to track inventory quantities, with this solution can I track inventory quantities based on the attribute? Would I be able to show how many Yellow shirts I have in stock?

I have been using "Base Unit of Measure" in a way for a similar problem.

I have defined an item, where the base unit of measure is a piece.

I have defined some Units of measure for different sizes (S, M, XS, etc.) for this item. For each one the base unit of measure for the item is 1 piece.

Then I have defined a sell price and purchase price for each unit of measure of the item.

I have used variants only to define different colors for the item.

When filling the the order you have to set the unit of measure for size and the variant for color.

I'm not sure if this can affect other points of the application, but it works for me.
