What is a Product Option?

A product option refers to the attributes or variants of a product that allows the users to customize the products, enabling businesses to offer a wide range of variations without needing to manage separate inventory items for each possible combination. These options can include factors such as color, size, material, and accessories, among others.

For instance, let's consider a clothing manufacturer that produces t-shirts with various options, including:

• Color: Red, Blue, Green, or Yellow

• Size: Small, Medium, Large, or Extra-Large

• Material: Cotton, Polyester, or Blend

In this example, each product option (color, size, material, and sleeve type) can be combined to create a unique product configuration, such as a red, medium-sized, cotton t-shirt. The combination of product options gives you an "Item" in XoroERP. In the above example, the "T-shirt" is a product, and we get an item "Red-Small-Cotton T-shirt" after combining the product options.

Key Features of Product Options

• Customizable Attributes: In XoroERP, users can define up to three distinct product options (Option 1, Option 2, and Option 3), allowing for extensive customization. Common attributes include color, size, material, and other characteristics pertinent to your products.

• Simplified Inventory Management: Instead of managing separate inventory items for each possible combination, XoroERP's product options feature simplifies inventory management by allowing users to manage inventory by base part.

• Simplified Product Catalog: Product options help in organizing and presenting product variations in a structured manner within a product catalog. Customers can easily navigate through available options, facilitating a smooth shopping experience and reducing decision-making complexities.

• Simplified Order Processing: While adding items to the orders, users can utilize the "Advance Variant Finder" option to search by base part and add the item by product options, simplifying the order processing.
