How to enter exact measurements for a style on a rental order
The size field may contain up to seven alphanumeric characters. The size may consist of one to two parts. Two part sizes have a hyphen entered to separate part one from part two.
A Size may be validated against size codes entered into inventory for a style. A option may be set for the system NOT to validate sizes entered on a order against those in inventory.
With size validation active, only part one of a size has to match the size entered in inventory. Part two does not. Part two may be free form. An example could be a pant size: 36R-39, where 36R is a size entered in inventory and represents the waist size & rise. Part two of the size is the person's outseam and is not in inventory. This example does not utilize ProfitSystem size conversion features.
Another size entry technique is the utilization of size conversion tables. This is simpler for a user but requires more steps to the one time setup of the system. See Size Conversion and Inventory for more information. Even when using size conversions the user can still enter the size code as it appears in inventory.
With size conversion ProfitSystem allows exact measurements to be entered for a style on a order. An exact measurement can consists of one part or two parts. With two part sizes the parts may be viewed as part 1 - width & part 2 - length. ProfitSystem would recognize this by two numbers separated by a hyphen. For example: For a shirt, measurements would be neck then sleeve represented by: 17.5-36 or a pant would be waist & outseam: 36-39
