Contents of this Topic: ShowHide

Overview

• OMS can use a product's attributes (options) to build sub-SKUs for the purpose of tracking inventory at the "option one of the possible attributes of a product; for example, blue is an option for the color attribute of a product" level.  

• It is possible to save time entering option lists for inventory records by using the Copy Option Lists screen synonymous with the Microsoft Access Form object or graphical user interface (GUI) to copy the option lists from one inventory record to another inventory record.

• Once option lists have been created for a product, sub-SKUs can be built.
