<p class="Help-Text">Many retailers sell merchandise that is grouped into styles. A style is a means of grouping inventory items that share the same basic item information but differ in one or two item traits, such as size, color, and pattern.</p>
|
|
<p class="Help-Indent" style="font-style: italic;">Example: A line of T-shirts might be carried in three sizes (Small, Medium, Large) and two colors (Black, White). This line of T-shirts, with six distinct items, constitutes a style.</p>
|
|
<p class="Help-Text">When viewing your inventory or planning a vendor purchase, it can be very helpful to view and work with all the members of a style on a single screen. Point of Sale makes this easy with the use of the Style window and the style grid. To view and work on the Style window, click the <span class="hcp2"> Style</span> button from the item form.</p>

<p class="Help-Text">Our T-shirt style, as viewed in a style grid, looks like this:</p>

|
<p class="Help-Text">A <span style="font-style: italic;">style grid</span> allows you to see the on-hand quantities for each item in the style (each cell represents a size/color combination), as well as the total quantities for each color and size. You can quickly spot items that need to be re-ordered or are out of stock and slow moving items. Accessed while making a purchase order or other document, the grid can be used to enter the quantity to order or process on the document.</p>
|
|
<p class="Help-Text">From a data standpoint, every item belongs to a style, though that item may be the only member of the style. Style items are defined by a common combination of its <font class="hcp3">Department</font> and <font class="hcp3">Item Name (Description 1)</font> values.</p>

<p class="Help-Heading-2">Style Templates</p>
|
|
<p class="Help-Text">Imagine that you carry 20 different shoe lines, all of which have the same or similar size and color combinations. Having to re-enter the same sizes and colors for every shoe you carry would quickly become tedious.</p>
|
|
<p class="Help-Text">Enter the <font style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">style template</font>. A style template is a user-defined array of item attributes: sizes, colors, patterns, material, etc., that can be used repeatedly to quickly add a style to inventory. Each template can be used for an unlimited number of styles.</p>
|
|
<p class="Help-Text">Define and save a style template with the repeated sizes or other attributes along the  x and/or y axes of the style grid. When you add a new line of shoes, select the style template to quickly set up the grid. You can edit an individual grid, as necessary, for variations from the template.</p>
|
|
<p class="Help-Text">The use of style templates is particularly well suited to lines of merchandise that vary only in size, color, pattern, or some other item trait. Typical examples include</p>
