On purchase and sales order lines, we have some functionality to show or hide variant lines to make it, to provide a better overview for the sales person.

So if you’re entering a purchase order, and this example, I have purchase order with different lines on it.

The top one here is all the same item, the same variance.

So the first line here on item 6,000 is referring to the top line.

Then we have two normal item lines without variance.

Then we have a group of item variance again, and then in the end we have another item line along the last line here is just for a log line for some new variants I was going to build.

I’ll just delete that one with the two functions here we can hide some of those lines, meaning in the first function, which is called on the variant handling sit style, master filter, this will filter.

So you only see the style master.

So if you look at the lines 11 60, 11 64 down here, those will be hidden as well.

So now we only see everything that is style masters, and we can see the total quantity on the total quantity column, which is just for information purposes, uh, even because it’s, this is a common column.

But for each, each of them, of course, we can still enter the variant matrix in variable order and modify it when we click it.

Again, set style master, it will just reopen all the lines.

The other action, uh, set height, style variance will just hide the variance lines, but leave the normal item lines.

So this way you get an overview of your top level, your styles, their quantity, and then extra lines for the normal items.

So those two are basically actions to create a better overview for purchases and sales person when you’re working with variants on open documents.
