Structured Stock for ABM |
Structured stock is designed for business whose stock requires a style, colour, size structure. Structured Stock was developed based on the needs of businesses such as textiles, clothing, footwear and fashion accessories industries in particular. |
Because of its open design, Structured Stock is usable in many other industries such as timber, bicycle and accessories distribution, spectacle frames, carpets and the plasterboard and paper industries. |
| Style/Colour/Size Model |
| Structured Stock caters for businesses whose stock requires a "segmented" structure. A common structure (for instance where clothing is sold) uses Style/Colour/Size as its segments. In ABM you would set up your product types with each collection containing such segments (colours and sizes). |
Each style is broken down into multiple segments in this way, so that when orders are placed, each style is shown as a matrix of Sizes and Colours. There is no limitation on the length of any individual segment, as long as the total stock code length (the sum of the segment lengths) is no longer than 25 characters. |
| Styles |
| A Style is a collection of stock items in Structured Stock which will contain one or more Colours and Sizes. All Styles are attached to product groups, which determine which general ledger account is affected by stock transactions. Similarly, each Style is allocated to a Size type and a range of Colours. ABM's powerful pricing matrix is available for each style. |
| Colours |
| Generally Colours and Sizes are required (and in some instances other dimensions such as width, fitting, etc.). Typically, a number of Colours would be attached to each Style. |
