Item dimensions are used to describe an item that has several attributes. Instead of creating separate items per model, color, and size combination, you can combine item dimensions to describe an item. Available item dimensions are: Configuration, Color, and Size. For example, use the Configurationdimension to define models and the Colorand Sizedimensions to define colors and sizes. You can create and maintain all three dimensions for on-hand inventory items. You can use the Configurationdimension for BOM items.

For on-hand inventory items, the dimensions consist of a code and a description. For BOM items, the configuration dimensions must also be defined with a corresponding configuration group and item number. Item dimensions are created and maintained in Configurations , Sizes , and Colors the forms. The dimensions can be selected anywhere that items can be selected.

You can rename the Colorand Sizeitem dimensions if you want to use the dimension fields for other purposes than size and color. Renaming takes place in the Dimension groupsform.

After you define the dimensions, you can set up combinations of dimensions for items and define cost price per combination if the cost price differs from combination to combination of an item.
