Styles, sizes and colours — how stock is counted

One style, many cells

A style is one design — Cotton Day Dress. What actually leaves your shop is a size and a colour of it: M in Ivory. That combination carries its own count, cost, price, reorder level and barcode.

Reading the grid

Open a style and you get a grid: colours down the side, sizes across the top, on-hand in each cell. A dotted cell means you don't make that combination at all. Tap any cell to see where those units are, the business-wide total, and the barcode.

On a phone the grid scrolls sideways inside its own box — the page itself never slides about while you're holding it one-handed on the shop floor.

What the colours mean

Amber is Low: at or below the reorder level you set for that size. Red is Short. Blue-green is Not settled. A plain empty cell is not a warning — most cells in a full grid are zero, and lighting them all up would bury the handful that matter.

Why the plan counts styles

Your plan's limit counts styles, not sizes and colours, so splitting a style into every size you carry costs you nothing. Add them all — that's what makes the size mix and the reorder suggestions worth reading.
