Overview
Attribute selection helps users choose controlled values for product attributes, especially where item variations or additional product details are used.
Where To Find It
Path: Inventory > Product attributes / variation workflows
Access depends on the module, company setup, and security permissions assigned to the user.
How It Works
Users open the attribute selection dialog from the product workflow, review available attributes, choose the correct values, and return to the product or transaction screen.
Main Areas
| Area | What It Means | When To Use It |
|---|---|---|
| Selection | Identifies the record, option, or item being maintained. | Use it before entering or changing details. |
| Details | Stores the values that control how the feature works. | Use it when creating, updating, or reviewing setup information. |
| Save and review | Applies the change so QBM can use it in transactions or lookup screens. | Use it after confirming the values are correct. |
Recommended Workflow
- Open the product workflow that requires attribute selection.
- Review the available attributes and allowed values.
- Select the values that describe the product correctly.
- Confirm the selection and return to the product workflow.
- Review the product or variation result after selection.
Best Practice
- Use attributes consistently across similar products.
- Avoid creating confusing variation combinations.
- Review product variation setup when attributes do not appear as expected.
