Variants: sizes, colours and dimensions

What it is for

A T-shirt in three sizes and two colours is one product with six variants. Each variant has its own code, which goes on documents, its own stock and, if needed, a price and barcode different from the product’s.

How to do it

1. Open a Goods product with its Code already entered and open the Variants section.
2. In First group (e.g. sizes) type the values separated by commas, for example S, M, L.
3. If needed, in Second group (e.g. colours) type for example Red, Blue.
4. Tap Create combinations: each combination becomes a variant with a code like TSHIRT-M-RED and the description “M / Red”.
5. Adjust Code, Variant, Price and Barcode if needed; untick Active for variants you no longer sell, or Remove to delete them.
6. Tap Save.

You can tap Create combinations again after adding a value: only the missing combinations are added, existing ones stay as they are.

Variants in documents and stock

• In documents, after the product you choose the variant; the variant code goes on the line.
• Without its own price a variant uses the product’s price.
• Stock is kept per variant: in movements and transfers the variant is required.
• The warehouse terminal recognises the variant’s barcode; if you scan the product code it asks Which variant?.
• Labels are printed one per active variant, and the stock count has one row per variant.
• Price change on the base price also changes variant prices.

What Nanus checks

• Each variant code must be unique across all products and variants.
• Variant barcodes must have the right check digit.
• In movements: “Choose the variant of …” if it is missing, “Variant … is not one of …” if it is wrong.
