Sub-SKU Options

Contents of this Topic: ShowHide

Overview

• The Sub-SKU Options screen is opened by going to:

 Main Menu>Settings>Inventory Functions> Build Sub-SKUs

• This is used to for creating sub-SKUs for all possible combinations of all products and their attributes at once, instead of building sub-SKUs on a product-by-product basis at the View Inventory screen.

• Building sub-SKUs for products enables the program to track inventory at the attribute level, rather than at the product level. For example, if you sell crew neck T-shirts, which come in several colors and sizes, it is preferable to know how many of each size and color combination are in stock, rather than simply knowing that you have 10 crew neck shirts in stock.

• Some shopping cart systems create sub-SKUs at their site and therefore it is not necessary to have Monsoon Order Manager build them. If your shopping cart system does not use sub-SKUs, use this screen to have Monsoon Order Manager create them. If you do not wish to build sub-SKUs for all products, go to Main Menu>Manage My Inventory>View& Manage My Inventory>Attributes & Options tab and use the Build Sub-SKUs for this Item link to create sub-SKUs for individual products.
