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](/Shiloh/brotherton-erpnext/media/commit/ca4c663e073bba1971aa1e9ad76ce6f000eae2a0/erpnext/docs/user/guides/stock/item/%7B%7Burl_prefix%7D%7D/assets/img/stock/item-has-variants.png)
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.

Note: You cannot make Transactions against a 'Template'
To create 'Item Variants' against a 'Template' select 'Make Variants'
