A shirt in 3 sizes and 2 colours is 6 items. Type the sizes and colours once and the six rows are made for you.

## Steps

1. Open "Inventory", press "New product" and fill the name and price.
2. Under "Variants (size / colour)" tick "This product has variants".
3. In the box "Sizes" type them separated by commas, for example S, M, L. In "Colours" type Red, Black.
4. Press the button "Make 6 variants" (the number follows your lists). One row appears for every size and colour pair, named like "L / Red".
5. In each row set "Price", "Opening quantity" and the code. Leave the code empty to get "Auto number". Press "Remove" on a pair you do not stock.
6. Press "Add variant" for any extra row, then save the product.

## If it doesn't work

- The button is greyed: both lists are empty, or there are too many pairs. "More than ... ; shorten a list." asks you to cut a list.

## What the system does not do

It does not sell the main product itself: it is only a container, and each variant has its own code and price. A service has no variants.

## Common questions

**Can I turn an existing product into variants?**

No. The box is only in the new product form. On a product that already has variants you can add more, and you edit the existing ones from the list.

**What is the number that appears when I leave the code empty?**

The system gives the variant its own code, shown as "Auto number" until saved.
