Item variants in Business Central help manage products efficiently by grouping similar items under one main item with variants like color.
Sales and purchasing documents in Business Central can specify variant codes for items to differentiate between variants.
The feature "Item availability by variant" provides key fields like gross requirement, scheduled receipt, planned order receipt, projected available balance, and planned order releases for each item.
Three ways to view inventory quantity for locations at Item-Variant level are: using Inventory Valuation, Physical Inventory Journals, and Item Ledger Entries in In-client Analysis mode.
Inventory valuation is crucial for determining the cost assigned to inventory items based on the equation:Ending inventory = beginning inventory + net purchases – cost of goods sold.
The Personalization function in Physical Inventory Journals allows adding Variant Code to the page for better inventory calculation.
