Set up product attributes for profiles, colours, and glass

1 min read Updated 2026-08-28 WindoorERP 19.0

What this does

Defines the modular attributes that distinguish product variations — such as RAL powder-coating colors, anodized finishes, glass sheet thicknesses (6mm, 8mm, 24mm DGU), and profile series. Attributes let one base product template automatically handle multiple stocked variants.

Before you start

  • Decide whether an attribute generates individual inventory variants (e.g. powder coated black vs white extrusions) or remains a descriptive specification.

Steps

Product attributes list configuring finish colours, glass specifications and opening types.

Note

Attributes created here are instantly available when designing window systems and configuring bills of materials.

Common mistakes

  • Setting Variant Creation to "Never" when you need separate physical inventory tracking for each finish color.
