Automatic Deletion of Colorway-Sizes
The system automatically deletes colorway-sizes when you perform certain actions within the system. While you can manually delete colorway-sizes, you are not required to do so.
* 
If your administrator disabled the automatic creation of colorway-sizes, there are no colorway-sizes to delete.
Deleting General Colorway-Sizes
By default, the system automatically deletes colorway-sizes when the following actions are performed:
You remove sizes from a product size definition. Any colorway-sizes associated to that size are deleted.
You delete a colorway. Any colorway-sizes associated to that colorway are deleted.
You delete a product size definition with sizes in it. Any colorway-sizes associated to those sizes are deleted.
Deleting Season-Specific Colorway-Sizes
By default, the system automatically deletes colorway-sizes that are specific to a season when the following actions are performed:
You delete the general (highest level) colorway-size. Any colorway-sizes associated to the season are also deleted.
You remove a product size definition with sizes in it from the season. Any season-specific colorway-sizes associated to those sizes are deleted.
You remove a size from a product size definition that is associated to the season. Any season-specific colorway-sizes associated to that size are deleted.
Deleting Source-Specific Colorway-Sizes
By default, the system automatically deletes colorway-sizes that are specific to a source on a season when the following actions are performed:
You delete the general (highest level) colorway-size. Any colorway-sizes associated to the source are also deleted.
You delete the season-specific colorway-size. Any colorway-sizes associated to a source on that season are deleted.
You delete the source. Any colorway-sizes associated to that source are deleted.
You remove a product size definition with sizes in it from the season. Any source-specific colorway-sizes associated to those sizes on the season are deleted.
Removing Colorways from Seasons
When you remove a colorway from a season, the system does not delete the associated colorway-size. The colorway-size information specific to the season (and source on that season, if applicable) is maintained by the system, but neither the information nor the colorway-size itself appear in the colorway-size table. In addition, you can no longer select this season from the Season list when viewing the colorway-size.
The system maintains the season and source-specific colorway-size information in the event that if you add the colorway back to the season, the system can easily restore the information.
Removing Products from Seasons
When you remove a product from a season, the system automatically removes the colorways from the season as well. The colorway-size information specific to the season (and source on that season, if applicable) is maintained by the system, but neither the information nor the colorway-size itself appear in the colorway-size table. You can no longer select this season from the Season list when viewing individual or multiple colorway-sizes.
In addition, the system no longer displays those product size definitions that are specific to the given season in the Product Size Definitions table.
The system maintains the season and source-specific colorway-size information in the event that if you add the product back to the season, the system can easily restore the information.
