Size Charts
and Main->Housekeeping->Inventory Setup->Size Charts Menu: Setup->Retail Inventory->Size Charts Action: SIZECHRT This form lets you maintain the list of vendor size charts. Size charts are used for reference, and to create size/color lookup matrixes which are used for a variety of purposes. Create the size chart using the Size Chart form, then enter the size chart name on the Retail inventory form for the style that uses it. It is recommended that you create your size charts before entering your retail inventory. You can enter up to 254 sizes in each size chart. The presence of a size chart on an inventory style and the entering of customer measurements onto the event or customer card will cause the system to suggest a size for a customer based upon the chart measurements and actual customer measurements.
How does Size Suggestion work
When the style is sold and the size lookup button
is selected on the Ticket, the size/color matrix is displayed if the style
sold has a size and optionally a color matrix. The size suggestion
only works if a size chart is added to the inventory style code. The
size suggestion works as follows: The bust, waist, and hip measurements
for the customer are retrieved. The measurements fields will accept
numbers & characters, so they are converted to numeric values before
lookup. Then, the system scans through the sizes on the size chart,
from top to bottom, and locates the first entry where the customers bust,
waist, and hip measurements are smaller than, or match exactly the bust,
waist, and hip for a size in the size chart. This size is then displayed
at the top of the size/color matrix.
Example: Customer's actual measurements
are 36, 24, 38. The size chart contains size measurements of:
Size 08 = 36, 24, 36
Size 10 = 38, 26, 38
The size suggestion would be a size 10.
Fields Size chart name...You must name the size chart with a unique alphanumeric code. This is how you will select the size chart from the Retail inventory form, so we recommend a descriptive code. For example: If you add a size chart for Alfred Angelo you could name the chart AASZ1. AA would identify Alfred Angelo as the vendor and SZ1 would tell you that it is size chart number 1 for this vendor. Description... Create a short description of the chart and enter it within this field. This field will print on the chart printout. Vendor...The vendor to whom this size chart applies. If this is a general size chart, create a vendor called SHOP (which will represent your shop) and use that vendor for general size charts. To select a vendor from a list simply click on the binoculars and a list of all the vendors you have entered into the system will appear. Size, Bust (Meas 1), Waist (Meas 2), Hip (Meas 3), Meas 4-6...These are the actual sizes and measurements that make up the size chart. The Size & Meas 4, 5 & 6 columns will accept letters and numbers. Bust, Waist & Hip (Meas 1-3) columns are numeric only. To add a size, click the Add Item button. A blank entry will appear at the end of the sizes list. Click on the blank entry and enter the size and measurements. To remove a size, select the size in the list and click Delete Item. The headings for measurement columns 4, 5 & 6.may be changes to any description. This is accomplished in Main-> Housekeeping->System Setup-> Other Settings tab. Upcharge...The upcharge for this size, if any. This is uploaded to the e-commerce web site along with the size chart.
Size Entry Hint: Enter the all sizes as two digits. Example, 00, 02, 04, 06 ,08, 10, 12, ...etc. This allows for proper size sorting on lookup grids and in reports. Buttons Print... Prints the chart out. Suitable for placing in a notebook. Includes an option to print the size chart notes and extra charges for size chart. Add Same...Creates a new size chart that contains all the sizes in the displayed size chart. Useful when the vendor has similar size charts as it saves having to re-enter all the duplicate sizes.
