Size Color Width Charts Overview

ProfitSystem allows for the entry of size, color, and width (SCW) charts into the system for reference. The charts may be generic and used across multiple inventory items or specific to vendors.

The entered charts may printed and/or assigned to inventory styles where they may be used to for the initial retail quantity on hand load or for creating all rental sizes (for optional WinTPS or WinTPOS modules) on he initial load. When charts are assigned to inventory styles they are utilized to create size, color, width matrixes to easily view inventory quantity, used to create stock POs and for size/color/width selection when adding a sales transaction to a ticket.

For example, assume a vendor has a shoe style 100X that uses size chart named SZCHT and color chart named CLRCHT. You would first create these charts in ProfitSystem (on the Size Chart and Color Chart form, respectively), and then on the retail inventory form, specify that style code 100X uses size chart SZCHT and color chart CLRCHT. Now, when you sell a style 100X, you can press the size lookup button, and ProfitSystem will display a matrix, with all the sizes in size chart SZCHT down the side, and all the colors in color chart CLRCHT across the top. You then click on the matrix cell to select the specific size and color being sold.

Also, if you want to special order those shoes for stock you use the matrix to create the order. The matrix is displayed, and you simply enter the quantities you wish to order directly into the matrix. ProfitSystem then creates the stock PO's automatically. The use of size, color, and width charts is optional.

A SCW matrix is constructed on user demand by ProfitSystem. A matrix can contain a maximum of 255 colors and 255 sizes and 255 widths, however a SCW chart may contain over 255 items. In the case that the chart exceeds the 255 limit, a matrix will not be able to be constructed for that chart. When creating charts the allowed characters are A - Z, a - z, 0 - 9.

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. See the Size Chart topic for more information.
