Codes

The Codes section in the Order module enhances traceability and integration with external systems, such as retail or logistics platforms. It displays critical identification codes: Barcode, Keycode, TUN, and SKU for each selected style and colourway in an order.

This section automatically populates from the associated Style’s Codes data. When a new order is created, the system automatically copies any preset codes defined in the linked style. These codes appear only if a colourway has been selected in Order > Colours & Pricing and the style contains corresponding codes.

Quick Check - Before You Start
  • Add and select colourways in Order > Colours & Pricing so code rows can appear.
  • Confirm the linked style has Style > Codes populated; empty style codes will not show here.

Fields and Behaviour

These codes help uniquely identify and track products across design, production, logistics, and retail systems. Each code serves a distinct purpose and may be used by different teams or external partners.

Code Type Description
Barcode A machine-readable, scannable identifier (e.g., EAN/UPC) used for inventory management, warehousing, shipping, and point-of-sale systems. Barcodes are typically required for logistics and retail operations.
Keycode An internal or retailer-specific reference code used to identify a product variant across design, costing, sampling, and retailer systems. Keycodes help ensure the correct style, colour, and size are referenced throughout the product lifecycle.
TUN A Trade Unit Number (TUN) used within supply chain and operational workflows to track product units for production planning, packing, and distribution. TUNs support internal coordination and traceability.
SKU A Stock Keeping Unit (SKU) that uniquely identifies a sellable product variant. The SKU is always visible and cannot be hidden, as it is the primary reference used across the platform and downstream systems.
Conditions for Displaying Codes
  • A colourway must be selected in Order > Colours & Pricing.
  • The style must include predefined codes.

If either of these conditions is not met, the codes will not appear in the order.

Customising Displayed Codes

You can customise which code columns are visible in the order view:

Step Action
1 Click the plus icon (+).
2 Select which codes to display:
• Barcode
• Keycode
• TUN
Note: The SKU code column is always visible and cannot be hidden.

Edit Order Codes

Adding Multiple Keycode

You can select multiple Keycodes to display in the order view, depending on how they are configured in Style > Codes.

Step Action
1 Click the plus icon (+).
2 Select Keycode from the options.
3 Choose which column to add from the pop-up window. These are sourced from the codes set in Style > Codes.

Removing Code Columns

You can simplify your view by removing unwanted code columns:

  • Click the trash icon on a column to hide it.
  • This action does not delete the code from the style; it only hides it from the current order.
  • Columns can be re-added if needed.

Remove Order Codes

Tip
  • Ensure style codes are maintained consistently for reuse across multiple orders.
  • Use code customisation to tailor views for different departments or workflows (e.g., logistics vs. merchandising).

Troubleshooting

Why are no codes showing for my order?

Codes only display when a colourway is selected and the style already defines those codes.

Steps to resolve:

  1. Open Order > Colours & Pricing and ensure a colourway is selected.
  2. In Style > Codes, add or verify Barcode, Keycode, TUN, or other codes as needed.
Why can I not hide the SKU column?

SKU is always visible by design because it is the primary product reference across the platform.

I removed a column with the trash icon—did I delete the code?

No. Hiding a column only changes this order’s view. Re-add columns with the plus (+) icon; underlying style codes are unchanged.
