Box 1: Product dimension
There are five product dimensions: color, configuration, size, style, and version.
Box 2: Product variant
Product variants are also referred to as items. An item is a tangible product, which isn't the same as a service.
A product variant can be generated based on the product dimension values.
Example
A company sells denim jeans. The item, Jeans, uses the color and size product dimensions. The jeans are sold in three different colors and six different sizes. The colors are blue, black, and brown. The sizes are XS, S, M, L, XL, and XXL. Not all sizes are available in all three colors. If all combinations were available, there would be 18 different types of jeans. However, in this example, only the following nine product variant combinations are produced.
Box 3: Tracking dimension
Scenario: If products in the warehouse must be blocked from transactions for a specific reason, such as a health and safety review, warehouse users should be able to block the products quickly from the ERP system.
