Items with Variants
These are items that have multiple options or variations (e.g., size, color, type).
They are essentially grouped under the same base item but are managed as separate options.

Click “Add Options”

⚠️Important Note
To fully benefit from NuMetric’s Inventory Plus Module, all items (including retail, bundled, and nested products) must be created after the module is activated.
⚠️ Items created before activating the Inventory Plus Module are not stock-managed. This means their inventory movements, cost tracking, and stock levels will not be updated in real-time or reflected in COGS and asset calculations.
To ensure accurate inventory and financial management, activate the Inventory Module first, then proceed to add your products.
NuMetric Logic:
When a user creates an Item (Product for Sale), the system automatically generates two accounts:
- Asset Account: Under "Inventory"
- Expense Account: Under "Cost of Goods Sold" (COGS)
- The user also selects the income account associated with the item's sales.
