Item Variants

This is probably one of the most anticipated features for companies that sell, manage or produce items that have similar attributes such as size, color or style. Such companies were forced to look for some add-ons for SAP Business One, other solutions, or create their own item variants functionality.

At Sana, we implemented our own item variants functionality which is now a part of the Sana add-on for SAP Business One.

Key features:

• Add any item attributes to the item master data using user-defined fields, for example color, size or style. Use these item attributes to create any item variants.
• Categorize item variants. For example, you can create the variant category called “Clothing” and add the variant components to it, such as “Color” and “Size”.
• Use up to four item variant components in the Sana webstore, for example “Color”, “Size”, “Style” and “Brand”. The Sana webstore natively supports item variants.
• Build relationships between the parent item and all its item variants (child items).
• Item variants can have different prices, discounts and stock.

This is a brand new and rather large feature that affects many different aspects of Sana and SAP Business One logic. Since this is the first release of this feature, we decided to release it as a Lite version. This means that:

• This is a working feature, but it may contain unknown issues that were not found during testing.
• Tested but not actively used by customers yet.
• We are actively looking for customer feedback to improve it.
• In the future releases there may be changes in this feature based on customer feedback.
• This feature has been tested with known scenarios. However, we recommend customers test it on their Beta environment according to their specific business scenarios before using it on the production environment.
