Procure product variants across profile powder coatings, glass tints, and hardware sizes
What this does
Manages procurement across attribute combinations (e.g. RAL 7016 Matt, RAL 9016 Gloss, Anodized Silver, Tinted Euro Grey Glass) ensuring exact surface treatment raw materials are ordered.
Before you start
- Product Variants enabled.
Steps
Important
Ordering profile extrusions with pre-treated powder coatings saves factory turnaround time on tight project schedules.
-
01
Open Purchase › Products › Product Variants across List, Kanban, Form, and Activity views.
-
02
Open any variant to inspect raw material purchase costs and vendor pricing tiers.
-
03
Use the Purchase Order Matrix to order multiple profile colors and lengths simultaneously from coating sub-contractors.
Common mistakes
- Ordering mill-finish aluminium profiles without booking powder coating production slots.
- Mixing different paint batch numbers on the same facade project, resulting in visible color shade mismatches.
