Products and Variants
Choose the right product structure
Use one product with multiple variants when customers see the options as versions of the same item. For example, Karate Uniform can have Size 2, Size 3, and Size 4 variants. Each variant can have its own SKU, stock count, cost, and supplier. Use separate products when the items have different names or are managed independently.
Field
How to use it
Price
The amount charged for the variant. If a variant has no separate price, it can use the product’s price.
Cost of Goods
What your school pays for the item. Keep this current if you use the shop margin report.
SKU
Your stock-keeping code, if you use one. It helps distinguish similar options.
Initial Stock
The starting quantity on hand when you create the variant. For later corrections or deliveries, use an inventory adjustment or purchase order instead.
Supplier
The usual supplier for this product or variant. A variant-specific supplier takes priority when preparing an order.
The Track Inventory / Fulfillment setting controls whether Kanri tracks stock and a handover for the product. If you turn it off, Kanri does not ask staff to reserve or hand over that item. The Allow Overselling setting controls whether a tracked product can be sold when stock is unavailable. Inherit from school follows the school’s default behavior.
If you change a single product’s name later, its variant name stays in sync. For products with options, use Manage Options to change the values that make up variant names.
