Property Sets and Values 

Property Sets allow the user to specify additional details for an item/product while working with orders (work order, transfer order, etc.), helping to track similar characteristics in a variety of products. In this way, they help the user with sorting, filtering and grouping product characteristics such as quality, color or size, based on specific information relevant to a certain category.

Selected properties and values are added to an item category, and become available only for items assigned to this category.

 

Property Set

 

WMSmart permits an unlimited amount of Property Sets. In addition, a default Property Set can be defined for working with orders.

A Property Set's name should allow the user to immediately recognize the characteristic defined by the set.

Each item category will contain an initial Property Set called “Generic Property Set” that will include three properties:

Generic Property Set

Quality

Class
