What is the purpose of Variations in the Cost Items Database record?

The Variations field allows you to add different options or characteristics to a Cost Item without creating a separate item for each option.

For example, if you have a Paint Cost Item, you can use Variations to identify different options such as:

  • Orange
  • Blue
  • Red

Variations can also be used for other characteristics, such as Size, Color, or Grade, depending on the type of item.

When creating a Cost Item, enter the available variations in the Variations field.

The Variations field is separate from the Unit Cost field. This allows you to identify different options for the same Cost Item while maintaining the item’s cost information separately.
