SEASONS

You could use the sub descriptions or set them as Matrix items with different years and seasons. Depends on exactly what you want to view when you ring them up.

I will follow this thread with interest as I spent many years in apparel retail and manufacturing. I'll be most interested in how you would get a reportk, by season, as I would guess you'll want to address inventory aging this way. I haven't been able to find a way that RMS reports specifically on when inventory is added (though I haven't used the Purchase Order function, and it may be there). At least in my wine business I have a vintage year as part of the item description.

Harry,

Have you looked at the Auto-Restock add-on from New West Technologies?

That's advanced alright:)

Just a word of caution - you said that you had added a column on Item - if you actually mean that you have ALTERED the RMS Item table, you may want to revise your code. If future upgrades from MS require schema changes, your changes may ( almost certainly will ) be dropped by the update. You should instead create a new table that joins to Item on Item.ID. Tables that are ADDED will be retained by updates

This would actually be a pretty good place to use the custom text or number fields built into the Item table. Maybe you are already using them for other purposes?
