Textile products and stock
Create colour and size variants, inspect product-group stock and track fabric rolls in a textile-enabled business.
These tools appear when the textiles module is available. Common product fields, prices and receiving rules still apply; use the related guides for those steps.
Create colour and size variants
- Open Create a product group from the product tools or Stock by product group. Product-creation permission is required.
- Choose Product group, SKU prefix, Season, Category, Unit and shared cost/selling/minimum prices. Prepare groups, colours and sizes in the reference lists first.
- Select at least one colour and the required sizes. Empty sizes are valid for a product that varies by colour alone.
- Review What will be created. Leave out combinations not sold, correct code conflicts, and check individual Sell, Minimum and On shelf values where offered. Existing combinations are skipped, not overwritten.
- Add shared or colour-specific photos and review Shared details and Branches.
- When entering opening quantities, choose Received into and From supplier. Use actual received amounts; opening stock needs receiving permission and creates a stock receipt.
- Select Create … variants, or Create & next group to continue with another group. Check the created/skipped counts and receipt information.
A single product can also use Product group, colour & size, Season, Fabric, Width (cm), Sold by length and GSM on its ordinary form. A reference-list group alone does not create variants.
Read or count group stock
Open Stock by product group, search for a design and choose the warehouse. Open its colour/size grid: In stock, Running low, Sold out and Not made distinguish stock shortages from combinations that do not exist.
If Count stock is available, select one warehouse, enter actual shelf totals and review before Save count … changes. This changes stock; it is not just a display preference. Use Cancel to abandon the count. The grid also offers label printing when products exist.
Inspect fabric rolls
Open Rolls of cloth, search and filter by warehouse or short-piece threshold. Review Metres on the shelf and each roll’s remaining length. Receive rolls leads to goods receiving; enter the correct fabric product and batch details there. Do not treat a short roll as a different product solely to hide its remaining quantity.
