Product Feature Definitions and Variation Management

With variation management, each variation of the product is tracked over different stock codes. In addition, by creating specs over variations, the management of areas such as spec-based stock and production tracking is provided. In addition, many functions such as taking orders according to product features and variations in sales orders proceed through these definitions.

Product feature definitions are used to define different features and variations (color, size, scent, etc.) related to products.

System General Product Feature Descriptions

These definitions are made on the Product Properties page.

ROUTE: ERP > Sales-Distribution > Product and Stocks > Product Features

1. Active: If you want the feature to be used actively, the "Active" box is checked. If this box is not checked, the registered feature cannot be displayed in transactions (purchase/sale) with the product.
2. Check the basket: When this box is checked, products of different variants of the product with the "Check the basket" feature sold on the partner portal cannot be added to the same shopping cart. E.g; Considering that German and English variations of the same product are offered for sale separately; Although the features of these products are the same, they cannot be added to the same shopping cart because their variations are different.
3. Display on Web: When this box is checked, the product is displayed on websites designed by Workcube.
4. Feature: The general name of the feature to be added is written. For example: Fabric Color, Product Size, Processor Type, etc.
5. Special Code: A special code for the feature to be added is defined in this field.
6. Explanation: It can be written in which products the feature will be used more. Thus, the use of features and variations defined for a specific product for other products is prevented.
7. Size/Color: If the defined feature is related to size or color, these boxes are selected.
8. Related Companies: Select from the "Related Companies" field to indicate which companies the defined features are associated with. Thus, companies using the same feature and variation do not need to define it again and again.

NOTE: If Size and Color boxes are desired to be displayed on the product properties new registration page, go to the XML settings of the page, and "Show Size-Color Fields?" option should be "Yes"

After the relevant definitions are made on the feature addition page, the Save button is pressed. In this way, variations can be added to the defined feature. To add a variation to a feature, go to the Product Features list page and click the edit icon.

Variation definitions can be made on the popup page that opens after clicking the edit icon. The required color variations for the feature defined as Fabric Color were created as in the example.

Defining Variations of a Product and Creating Inventory Codes

After defining the general product features and variations on the system, the relevant product detail for which the variation will be tracked is entered and the Product Features button is clicked.
