Naming Convention - Footwear

edited Nov 26, 2019 8:41AM in Accounting / ERP 4 comments

I am new to this community and to Netsuite. Please bear with me as I try to describe how the inventory items were setup within Netsuite. If anyone from the footwear industry can describe how they have their inventory items setup, all the better.

It appears that the items were setup under matrices with the type shoe e.g.Sandals, then the color, then the size all in one field separated by a hyphen. My matrix would be Sandals, then the item would be listed. To illustrate, see below:
Sandal
Sandal-Blue-W10 

This information would be in one field (Column). Is there a reason why Sandal was repeated on the second line? Is this because it now designates that the item is part of the matrix Sandal? Why was the hyphen used instead of populating 3 fields, one for type of shoe, second for color of shoe, third for size of shoe.

Howdy, Stranger!
