Variants
Sizes, colours and flavours. In MCPOS a variant is a separate sellable item with its own barcode, price and stock.
Steps
-
Open it
Catalog → Variants.
-
Define the attribute
Size, colour, or whatever varies, and its values.
-
Generate the variants
MCPOS creates one sellable item per combination.
-
Give each one its own barcode and price
A large may cost more than a small. Each variant carries its own price and its own stock count.
Good to know
- Because a variant is a real sellable item, it has its own stock level. Do not expect the parent product to carry the total.
- Scan a variant barcode at the POS and the right one is added — the cashier is never asked to choose.
