Viewing Structured Stock Products
Viewing Header Products and Sub-Products.
When you select the product list, you will see the header products with a plus sign (+) next to it. This signifies that it is a header product, and will contain a summary of all the sub-products such as Free Stock, Quantity on Hand and value.
The Products list view in ABM showing header products with a plus sign (+) for structured stock items. The grid displays products with columns for Product Code, Product Title, Product Group, and additional columns. Header products (structured stock) are identifiable by the + symbol next to them, such as "Shoes Roadrunner" entries. Other standard products like "Frieze Polyethene," "Decor - Emerald Green 1L," and "Acrylic" items are also listed. Product groups shown include Paints, Clothing, and others. The + sign indicates these products contain sub-products that can be expanded to view individual colour/size combinations.
To see the full list of all products then select the + sign and this will expand all the products. To see the summary again just select the minus sign (-)
The Products list view in ABM with structured stock products expanded. The + signs have been clicked to reveal all sub-products underneath header products. The expanded view shows individual colour/size combinations such as "Y001.01White.Shoes Roadrunner - Red White 16," "Y001.02Shell.Shoes Roadrunner - Red Shell XXXL," and similar variations. Each sub-product line shows its full code combining the base product code, colour code, and size code. The grid columns show Product Code, Product Title, Product Group (Clothing), and stock values. The expanded list demonstrates how the structured stock system breaks down a single header product into many sub-product SKUs.
