Active and Inactive Colorway-Sizes
You can define active and inactive colorway-sizes according to your business needs. You can also activate colorway-size variations to be developed, manufactured, or sold, or all three.
Colorway-Size Levels
Colorway-size levels are based on increasing orders of specificity. The highest (most general) level is the colorway-size variation itself, followed by the colorway-size variation specific to a particular season. The lowest and most specific level is the colorway-size variation that is particular to a specific source within a particular season.
You can only activate or deactivate a colorway-size if it is active at a higher level. To activate a colorway-size for the season, the colorway-size must be active at the highest level. To activate colorway-sizes for the source, the colorway-size must be active at the highest level and for the season.
Activating or deactivating a colorway-size has a cascade effect on colorway-sizes at lower levels.
Activating or deactivating a colorway-size activates or deactivates the colorway-size on both the season and the source. Any size to season and size to source links for that colorway-size are activated or deactivated, and the system sets the active attribute to true or false on all levels.
Activating or deactivating a colorway-size for a season activates or deactivates the colorway-size on the source. Any size to season and size to source links for that colorway-size are activated or deactivated, and the system sets the active attribute to true or false for both the season and the source.
Activating or deactivating a colorway-size for a source does not affect the colorway-size on any other levels. Any size to source links for that colorway-size are activated or deactivated, and the system sets the active attribute to true or false for the source only.
