Defining Varieties - Item Varieties
Use this setting to record the different Varieties that you sell.
To define a new Item Variety, first move into the Stock module using the Modules menu. Then click [Settings] in the Master Control panel or select 'Settings' from the File menu. Double-click 'Item Varieties' in the resulting list and, when the 'Item Varieties: Browse' window appears, click [New]. Once entered, click [Save] to save the record.
- Code
- Enter a code by which the Item Variety can be identified.
- If you specified a number of characters in the Code Length field in the parent Variety Group, you should enter a Code consisting of exactly that number of characters. The example Variety shown above belongs to the Variety Group illustrated on the Item Variety Groups page and so has a three-character Code. When entering the Variety Group in the field to the right, the required number of characters is shown in the 'Paste Special' list as a reminder.
- If you entered a full stop in the Code Length field in the parent Variety Group, you can enter up to five characters here (the exact number does not matter).
- Group
- Paste Special
Item Variety Groups setting, Stock module
- Specify here the Variety Group to which the Variety belongs.
- Name
- Specify a name for the Variety. This will be used as part of the Item description whenever the Variety is used (e.g. in Invoices, Orders and Goods Receipts).
The table in the lower part of the window can be used to enter various translations of the name of the Item Variety. Specify a Language in the first column using 'Paste Special' if necessary, and the appropriate translation in the second column. When using the Variety in Orders or Invoices, the Language of the Order or Invoice will determine which translation is used. There is no need to enter a row for your home Language.
