00:00:01.227 --> 00:00:05.998
In this episode we add a product that comes in several sizes, and give every size

2
00:00:05.998 --> 00:00:06.940
its own barcode.

3
00:00:08.936 --> 00:00:14.355
A fleece jacket in small, medium and large is one product, but three things on the

4
00:00:14.355 --> 00:00:19.774
shelf. Each size is a variant. A variant has its own SKU, barcode, price and stock

5
00:00:19.774 --> 00:00:22.616
count, so the register can tell them apart.

6
00:00:23.037 --> 00:00:28.899
Click New product and choose General retail, as before. Then type the name, Trail

7
00:00:28.899 --> 00:00:34.905
Fleece, with a retail price of forty five dollars, a cost of eighteen, and the SKU,

8
00:00:34.905 --> 00:00:35.773
F L E E C E.

9
00:00:36.635 --> 00:00:41.634
Now open the Variants and stock tab. Options are the things that differ between

10
00:00:41.634 --> 00:00:44.671
variants, like size or colour. Click Add option.

11
00:00:45.715 --> 00:00:52.728
Name the option Size. Then add its values one at a time. Click Add value, type the

12
00:00:52.728 --> 00:00:56.320
value, and press Enter. We add S, M and L.

13
00:00:56.470 --> 00:01:01.770
The table underneath now has one row per variant. Each combination of option values

14
00:01:01.770 --> 00:01:07.005
becomes its own row. If you add a second option, such as Colour, you get a row for

15
00:01:07.005 --> 00:01:08.729
every size and colour pair.

16
00:01:09.256 --> 00:01:15.054
The SKU of each variant is built from the product SKU and the size, so S, M and L

17
00:01:15.054 --> 00:01:17.131
are kept apart automatically.

18
00:01:18.322 --> 00:01:23.704
The barcode column is where you type the code printed on the product. Click a cell

19
00:01:23.704 --> 00:01:29.085
and type it, or point a barcode scanner at the cell. Here are three codes for S, M

20
00:01:29.085 --> 00:01:29.479
and L.

21
00:01:29.629 --> 00:01:34.289
If a product has no barcode, leave the cell empty. If auto generate barcodes is

22
00:01:34.289 --> 00:01:38.065
switched on in the store settings, the system makes one for you.

23
00:01:38.884 --> 00:01:43.274
The price column starts at the product price. Large costs a little more, so we

24
00:01:43.274 --> 00:01:45.132
change it to forty eight dollars.

25
00:01:46.915 --> 00:01:51.615
Opening stock is entered for each variant and outlet. At Main Street we have four

26
00:01:51.615 --> 00:01:53.588
small, six medium and three large.

27
00:01:54.979 --> 00:01:56.161
Press Create product.

28
00:01:57.718 --> 00:02:01.662
The product is created with three variants, and thirteen items on hand.

29
00:02:03.157 --> 00:02:07.981
Open the Variants tab to change things later. Each row can be edited in place.

30
00:02:09.654 --> 00:02:14.440
Let's raise the medium price to forty six dollars. Type the new price into the cell.

31
00:02:16.050 --> 00:02:21.388
One variant can have more than one barcode, for example when a supplier changes the

32
00:02:21.388 --> 00:02:26.725
packaging. Use Add barcode on a row to add another. A scan of any of them finds the

33
00:02:26.725 --> 00:02:27.561
same variant.

34
00:02:27.985 --> 00:02:29.709
Press Save to keep the change.

35
00:02:32.636 --> 00:02:37.932
Your product now has sizes, with a barcode and price for each. In the next episode,

36
00:02:37.932 --> 00:02:42.015
we organise the catalogue with categories, brands and suppliers.
