Purpose

Overview

Use Style Maintenance to manage styles for products in apparel (or similar) industries. A product style is associated with products on the General tab in Product Maintenance, and can be used in Order Entry to facilitate the entry of apparel (or similar) products. The style code is also used by the Business Intelligence module to analyze the performance of product lines, styles, sizes, and colors.

Note You cannot delete a style if a product is associated with it.
