A Item Variant is a different version of a Item, such as differing sizes or differing colours. Without Item variants, you would have to treat the small, medium and large versions of a t-shirt as three separate Items; Item variants let you treat the small, medium and large versions of a t-shirt as variations of the same Item.

To use Item Variants in ERPNext, create an Item and check 'Has Variants'

  • The Item shall then be referred as a 'Template'
Has Variants

On selecting 'Has Variants' a table shall appear. Specify the variant attributes for the Item in the table. In case the attribute has Numeric Values, you can specify the range and increment values here.

Valid Attributes

Note: You cannot make Transactions against a 'Template'

To create 'Item Variants' against a 'Template' select 'Make Variants'
