Color Charts

The use of Vendor Color charts is optional. But are a great way for a shop to become more organize and results in faster customer check-outs with fewer errors.

Vendor Color Charts is a module to allow the shop to enter the Vendor's colors and color swatch in the form of a online digital chart. One or more charts for any vendor may be created as needed. As styles are entered in Inventory, the shop would assign the proper chart to the vendor's merchandise.

When a Color chart is assigned to a inventory style, then when the style is sold, only colors entered within the chart may be selected during the sale. This is to eliminate the error of a clerk selecting an improper color during the sale.

A color chart is normally linked to the vendor, and a color chart can only be used on styles from that vendor. However, if a color chart is linked to the STORE vendor, then it can be used on styles from any vendor. This is essential to create/use common color charts on styles from different vendors.
