Item Variants

Do you sell products in multiple sizes, colors, or variants? With Item Variants in Rackbeat, you can keep everything under one product while still maintaining full visibility into inventory, purchasing, and sales per variant. This makes it easier to work faster, avoid mistakes, and ensure you always sell the right item.

Item Variants are perfect for products such as T-shirts, shoes, spare parts, or packaging—where the item is the same, but available in different variants. In Rackbeat, you manage variants through variant groups, allowing you to work in a structured and consistent way across inventory, purchasing, and sales.

Get a clear overview of stock status per variant

When working with variants, it’s not just about choosing “the right one.” It’s about seeing what you actually have in stock—per variant. In Rackbeat, you can quickly get an overview of stock on hand, allocated to orders, purchased, and available, so you can plan purchasing and deliveries more accurately.

This gives you an overview per variant:

In stock
On order
Purchased
Available

Group your variants

You can create a variant group with 1–2 variant types (for example, size and color) and assign it to your products. Once an item has variants, it becomes a natural part of your daily workflow in Rackbeat—so you always select the right variant when purchasing, selling, or adjusting inventory.

Examples of variant types:

Size (S / M / L / XL)
Color (black / white / blue)
Model (standard / pro)
Material (cotton / polyester)
