YouTube: [How to setup items with multiple shades and sizes?](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OF0P59Dw3gc)

This tutorial provides a step-by-step guide to creating items for an apparel business in your inventory management system. It covers item creation based on **shade** and **size variations**, including pricing, categorization, and grouping.

***

### 📍 **Navigation**

Begin by navigating to the appropriate setup window:

> In the **Main Menu**, Go to **Setup** section, expand the **Setup Items** option, then click to open the **Setup Items Shade/Size Wise** window. 

> *Note: This section is specifically designed for apparel businesses where items vary by **color (shade) and size.***

***

### 🛠️ **Step 1: Define Basic Item Details**

#### ➤ Item Name

* Enter the **name of the item** or style (e.g., “Slim Fit Jeans” or “Formal Shirt - Oxford”).

#### ➤ Type of Item

* Choose either:
  * **Raw** – For materials like fabric, threads, etc.
  * **Finished** – For ready-to-sell garments or completed products.

#### ➤ Category Selection

* Assign the item to a **specific category** such as *Men's Wear*, *Kids*, *Denim*, *Ethnic*, etc., for better organization and reporting.

#### ➤ Upload Item Image

* Click on the image placeholder to **upload an image** from your computer.
* This helps with **visual identification** at the time of billing and improves user experience in POS systems.

***

### 🗂️ **Step 2: Assign the Item to Groups**

* You must assign the item to one or more **Item Groups**.
* These groups could be based on:
  * Product type (e.g., Trousers, Shirts)
  * Department (Men, Women, Kids)
  * Season (Winter Collection, Summer Wear)
* If you haven’t created item groups yet, refer to the linked **“**[**Set Item Groups**](https://youtu.be/QBJBaHlKGgA?si=tgLAjDGmKC8zWUt_)**” tutorial** to complete that first.

Grouping enhances:

* Inventory tracking
* Reporting accuracy
* Promotional planning

***

### 💰 **Step 3: Set Pricing and Codes**

#### ➤ Basic Rate (M)

* Enter the **base selling price** for the item (usually for the smallest or default size).

#### ➤ Size Difference

* This value defines the **incremental price change** per size.
  * For instance, entering `₹100` means:
    * Size 32: ₹2,199
    * Size 34: ₹2,299
    * Size 36: ₹2,399
  * This auto-calculates MRP for each size variant.

#### ➤ HSN Code

* Input the **HSN (Harmonized System of Nomenclature)** code for the item.
  * This is important for **taxation and legal compliance**.

#### ➤ Item Description (Optional)

* Add a **brief product description** if desired.
  * E.g., “100% Cotton | Slim Fit | Machine Washable”
* You may leave this blank if unnecessary.

#### ➤ Company/Brand

* Select one or more companies or brands that the item is associated with.
  * E.g., Levi’s, Allen Solly, Adidas
* This allows for **brand-specific reports and filtering**.

***

### 📦 **Step 4: Select Pack Sizes and Shades**

#### ➤ Choose Pack Sizes

* Select applicable **pack sizes** such as:
  * S, M, L, XL, XXL
  * Waist sizes like 28, 30, 32, 34, etc.

#### ➤ Choose Shades (Colors)

* Pick available shades for the product (e.g., Navy Blue, Black, Maroon).
* You can create **new shades or sizes** by clicking the **F2** option if they are not listed.

> 🔁 The total number of product variants created = Number of Shades × Number of Sizes\
> \&#xNAN;*E.g., 2 shades × 8 sizes = 16 items created automatically*

***

### 👁️ **Step 5: Preview and Save**

* Click **Preview** to review the final list of generated items.
  * This shows a matrix of **size and shade combinations**.
* Verify:
  * MRPs
  * Item codes
  * Pack and shade consistency
* If everything is correct, click **Save** to finalize item creation.

***

### 🔎 **Step 6: Verify Through Multiple Pack Size Window**

#### Navigate to:

> In the **Main Menu**, Go to **Setup** section, expand the **Setup Items** option, then click to open the **Setup Items Multiple Packs/Sizes** window. 

#### What You’ll See:

* Each **shade** is shown as a separate group of items.
* Inside each shade:
  * All selected **sizes** are listed.
  * **MRPs adjust** based on the size difference value.
  * **Item codes** are generated automatically for each unique item.

This step helps you **verify your inventory structure** and confirm that all combinations have been correctly created.

***

### 🧹 **Step 7: Customize View with Column Locks (Optional)**

You can personalize your view by hiding unwanted columns:

1. Go to **Column Locks**.
2. Deselect columns like:
   * Item Description
   * Size Difference
3. These fields will be hidden from your setup window, offering a **cleaner, distraction-free interface**.

***

### ✅ **Key Takeaways**

* Easily create multiple product variants with size and color combinations.
* Automate MRPs using the **Size Difference** feature.
* Group and categorize items for **organized inventory management**.
* Upload product images and assign to **brands** for better billing experience.
* Use the **preview** feature to double-check entries before finalizing.
* All items are auto-coded and ready for sales or inventory operations.
