Overview

Product colors support better item organization where the business sells or manages color-driven products.

Where To Find It

Path: Inventory > Product Colors

Use the product-color screens when color is an important part of product classification or variation handling.

How It Works

QBM stores color values as reusable records so items can use the same controlled list instead of inconsistent free typing.

Main Areas

Area What It Means When To Use It
Color list Stores the allowed color values for products. Use it to standardize the way colors appear across items.
Item linkage Lets the product record select from the maintained colors. Use it when item details depend on color classification.
Consistency Improves searching, filtering, and variation review. Use it when the business wants cleaner product analysis.

Recommended Workflow

  1. Review the existing color list first.
  2. Add a new color only when it is not already available.
  3. Use the color on product records consistently after saving.

Best Practice

  • Avoid duplicates such as multiple spellings of the same color.
  • Keep the list practical and business-oriented.
  • Use broader category or variation structures when color alone is not enough.
