In the same company, we can use items with no variance on it or items that uses variance, and we can use variance with the normal variant functionality or we can use it with creating item as variance.

And basically the way we set up that an item that we call style, style, master style template and style variant.

So if you have a new style master, you would typically create a number, item number, and then the style name, which is common for all the different variants.

Check marking that it’s a style master, meaning this is supposed to be the main placeholder for the uh, style and also the specification that that is general for the style would be added on this level.

So if you use the specification on the master data information, all the general things you would say about this style should be added on this top level first.

Then you define a style template when you create an item using the creation worksheet.

’cause it’s possible in here to create many item variants in one go.

They would automatically be tagged with being styled variants, not style masters, but they’re combined with the style name.

So you can also manually import new items from vendors or from your development department with the same style number.

And then just check marking the style master in having a
column in the Excel sheet to import.

And you don’t need to do anything to set it up.

So those are the fields that we use in the item card to define whether it’s a style master or a style variant.

And of course, if you use the standard variant functionality, like on this item 6,000, you will just check mark that it’s a style master entering the style name, the style template.

And then in the item variance in here, the list of variants, you will just enter all the different variance names.

So this is, in this case the standard functionality between item numbers and variance that ties it together.
