Adding Inventory Matrix

* Select ADD from the inventory menu and display

add inventory submenu. Select Matrix to add item.

* Add general inventory information from the screen

just as standard items.

* After general information is entered the screen will

change to a box labeled columns and rows. The

general principle for matrix items is to have one

product number with multiple types, sizes or colors

such as garments, shoes, bikes ...

* Enter the column headers you would like across the

top. Entry on a blank column header will move the

cursor to the rows entry fields. Enter these the same

way. Again, entry on a blank row box will move the

cursor to the next step quantity entry. An example

would be SM, MED and LG for columns and RED,

GREEN & BLUE for rows (or vise versa).

* Enter the quantity in each box that corresponds with

the columns and rows. The system will move you

from left to right and from top to bottom.

* Once you have completed an the boxes you will be

prompted for the next inventory matrix item. Con-

tinue just as you would with standard items from here.

* You can not edit matrix column and row names - if

you want to change the names you must delete the item

and re-enter it. You can edit the inventory basic infor-

mation such as price, vendors or quantities at any time.

* If you want to use a number for your matrix rows or

columns you need to use a letter in the field first then

type in the number. An example would be if you

wanted to make a row for size 10 you would put (S10)

for the field name.
