Product Variants & Attributes

Product Variants (Attributes)

Variants let you offer different versions of the same product - sizes, colours, materials - without creating separate product records.

Enabling Variants

1. Open a product form → go to Variants tab.
2. Click Add Attribute.
3. Select existing attribute (Size, Colour) or create a new one.
4. Add attribute values (e.g. S, M, L, XL).
5. Quickenerp auto-generates product variants for every combination.
6. Each variant has its own Internal Reference, Barcode, Sales Price, and Cost.
7. Click Save. Variants appear as sub-lines in the Variants tab.

Managing Attributes

Go to Sales > Configuration > Attributes.

Variant Pricing

Each variant can have its own price:

1. In the Variants tab, click the variant (e.g. "Chair - Black").
2. Sub-form opens. Change Sales Price and Cost.
3. Set unique Internal Reference for warehouse picking.
4. Each variant can also have its own Image.

Variant Limits

Too many combinations bloat the database (5 sizes → 10 colours → 3 materials = 150 variants). Consider:

• Use Dynamic/Grid View for products with many variants.
• Create separate parent products for distinct lines.
