Attributes

Classifications

There are three levels of classification available: Department, Category, and Subcategory.

The department is typically considered the most general level of segmentation, in a clothing store categories can be Men, Women, Youth, Infants, Accessories, etc. Category and Subcategories are the next levels. Reports can be filtered by one or a combination of these classifications.

Uploading Attribute Images:

Note: We’ve introduced image upload capabilities for Collections, Sub-collections, and Attributes (excluding Size Bricks) to help merchants present visually appealing interfaces in POS.

For all attributes and additional attributes (except Size Brick):

• A new "Attribute Image" (e.g., Department Image, Size Image) field allows image upload during creation or editing, except for size brick.
• These images help visually identify attributes (e.g., color, size, department etc.) in Quick Picks.

Departments

Go to Catalog →  Attributes → Classifications →  Department

A department is created to associate similar or related items.

 

Creating New Department

ID Verification Prompt: If you have items that are age-specific (Alcohol, Cigarettes) and you want all items in the department to prompt you to check ID, check the box.

EBT Eligible: If you have items that are EBT eligible, check the box. For the EBT transaction, only EBT-flagged items can be processed, otherwise, you will get an error, prompting that the item is not eligible.

Meal Card Eligible: For departments containing items eligible for meal card transactions, mark the "Meal Card Eligible" checkbox. During a meal card transaction, only items flagged as "Meal Card Eligible" can be processed. Otherwise, an error will be generated, indicating that the selected item is not eligible for purchase using a meal card.

Restrict on Receipt: now users can mark departments as "Restrict on Receipt," controlling which items are printed on receipts. Each department has a default-disabled "Restrict on Receipt" flag, adjustable by roles with specific permissions. Only eligible items print during transactions.

The printing of the disclaimer is specified in this section, such as the number of disclaimer receipts to print and whether a customer's signature line should also be printed on the receipt acknowledging the disclaimer.

Attributes

There are seven types of system-defined attributes available: Style, Color and Size, Size Brick, Season, Brand, and Team.

These attributes are typically vendor-defined and are critical when Purchase Orders are processed and submitted to many vendors. Users can also define size bricks to easily add new items in an entire size range into a Purchase Order or during Merchandise Receiving.

Reports can be filtered by one or a combination of these attributes.

Size

Go to Catalog  →  Attributes →  Size

Items can be assigned size attributes, These are typically the same as sizes used by the vendor.

Sort By Size: This feature allows merchants to control the display order of size variants using a configurable Sequence field within Size Attributes. Instead of displaying sizes based on the order they were created, sizes can now appear in a more logical and consistent format (for example: S → M → L → XL).

Users can access the Sort By Size option from the kebab menu in the Size Attribute screen. Selecting this option opens a pop-up displaying details such as Size ID, Name, and Sequence. Merchants can assign numeric sequence values to define how sizes should appear across the system. The Variant Matrix and size selection UI will automatically follow the configured sequence order. Existing sizes are assigned a high default sequence value to maintain current behavior unless updated manually. If multiple sizes share the same sequence number, they are displayed alphabetically within that sequence. 

Creating New Size

To create a new size click on the Add Size button.

Enter the Name of the Size to be created, if the name does not exist the size is added and a successful message is displayed, if a name that already exists is being added an error message is displayed.

Size Brick 

Go to Catalog  →  Attributes →  Size Brick

This function allows the user to create a size brick that can be used to quickly create a group of items from the Purchase Order or Merchandise Receiving screen. When creating an item under the purchase order (or Merchandise Receiving), if the user selects a size brick, then the new item is created in all the sizes of the size brick and listed below for the user to choose from.

Creating a size brick is the same as going into the Attributes and selecting the size from the list of available sizes that are displayed if the size brick includes sizes that have not been previously established, a New Size can be defined.

Creating New Size Brick

To create a new size brick click on the Add Size Brick button.

Enter the Name of the Size Brick to be created.

Select the Size from the list of available sizes that are displayed, if the size brick includes sizes that have not been previously established, a new size can be defined by clicking on 'Add Size'.

If the name of the Size Brick did not previously exist the brick is added and a successful message is displayed. If a previously established name is used an error message is displayed and the brick needs to be renamed in order to save. If a previously added size is being defined as a New Size the transaction will not save and an error message will be displayed, correct the entry and save.

The Size Brick is then used to create the Size (many items at once)
