Style Details

The Style Details section of the Order application captures critical data about the product or style being ordered, ensuring consistency across production, planning, and customer communications.

The fields displayed are consistent across both Single-Style Orders and Bulk-Style Orders. These fields ensure accurate product definition and alignment with customer requirements, regardless of order type.

Quick Check - Before You Start

Confirm required dropdowns (customer, season, department, and so on) exist in the relevant Site Settings areas before editing the order.
If you use licences, check Site Settings > License is enabled when you expect License, Contract, or License Sub No. to appear.

Single-Style and Bulk-Style Orders

Managing Styles in Bulk Orders

For Bulk-Style Orders, you have full control over managing your order contents:

Delete Styles: You can delete both styles and individual colours from Bulk Orders. You have complete flexibility to remove styles or colours as needed.
Add Styles: When adding styles to a Bulk Order, the Add Styles pop-up displays all available Styles, allowing you to select and add any Style to your Bulk Order as expected.
Style Links for Order Bulk: Styles added for bulk orders are now visible in the Style Links for Order Bulk pop-up, allowing you to view and manage all associated styles for your bulk order.

Style with Price by Colour

Styles with a price type of Price By Colour are intentionally excluded from the search results in the Add Styles pop-up, as this pricing type is not yet supported in Bulk Orders.

Style Data Synchronisation

The Style Data Synchronisation function automatically synchronises updates made in the Style module to the Order's Style Details section. This ensures that order information stays aligned with the latest style data.

However, once an Order is marked as Completed, the following fields are protected from automatic updates and will no longer be updated:

Style Number
Description
Brand
Collection
License
Gender
Type

Bulk Orders

The Style Data Synchronisation function does not apply to Bulk Orders, as Bulk Orders do not support this automatic feature.

License Enforcement for Bulk Style Orders

When generating the Purchase Order Form for Bulk Style Orders, the system validates License associations with the Factory. If the Supplier is configured with Enforce License enabled in Site Settings > Company > Supplier > Production, a warning will only appear if Licenses in the Styles are not correctly associated with the Factory. If all Licenses are correctly associated, the Purchase Order Form can be generated without warnings.

Fields and Descriptions

Field	Description
Customer	Identifies the client placing the order. This field determines customer-specific configurations in costing, terms, contract, and reporting visibility. The dropdown options for this can be configured in Site Settings > Company > Customer.
Customer Ref No.	Stores the customer-provided reference number used for external tracking, reconciliation, and cross-referencing with customer systems. Changes to this field are automatically saved and persist after refreshing the screen.
Season	Defines the fashion season the style belongs to (e.g., SS25, FW24). Season selection supports planning, timeline management, and seasonal reporting. The dropdown options for this can be configured in Site Settings > Style > Season.
Department	Specifies the department responsible for the style. This helps route the order correctly and supports filtering, reporting, and approvals. The dropdown options for this can be configured in Site Settings > Order > Department.
Buyer	Indicates the individual accountable for purchasing decisions and order approvals. This field is commonly used for communication, tracking responsibility, and audit purposes. The dropdown options for this can be configured in Site Settings > Company > Buyer.
Status	Shows the current lifecycle stage of the order (e.g., Draft, In Progress, Completed). Status controls editability and indicates whether the order is ready for the next process step.
Story	Captures the design concept or theme associated with the style. This provides creative context and helps align design, merchandising, and marketing teams. The dropdown options for this can be configured in Site Settings > Style > Story.
Brand	Specifies the brand under which the style will be sold. Brand selection may affect available collections, licences, and customer-facing documentation. The dropdown options for this can be configured in Site Settings > Style > Brand.
Collection	Identifies the product collection or range the style belongs to. This supports merchandising structure, seasonal grouping, and reporting. The dropdown options for this can be configured in Site Settings > Style > Collection.
Size Scale	Defines the sizing structure used for the style (e.g., S–XL, numeric sizing). The selected size scale determines which sizes can be added to the order. The dropdown options for this can be configured in Site Settings > Style > Size Scales.
Sizes	Lists the specific sizes included in the order based on the selected size scale. This information is used for quantity planning, sampling, and production setup.
License	Indicates the licence under which the style is developed, when applicable. The dropdown options for this can be configured in Site Settings > Style > License. Note: This field, along with Contract and License Sub No., is only displayed when License is enabled in Site Settings > License. If License is disabled in Site Settings, these fields are hidden from the Order > Style Details section.
Contract	Links the style to a specific legal contract associated with the licence. This ensures the order complies with agreed commercial and legal terms. Note: This field is only displayed when License is enabled in Site Settings > License.
License Sub No.	Records a sub-reference under the main licence contract, allowing more granular tracking of licensed styles or programs. Note: This field is only displayed when License is enabled in Site Settings > License. Critical Path Impact: Activities with the condition Licensed Sub No. are only displayed in the Order > Critical Path when a value has been entered in this field. When this field is empty, license-related activities do not appear in the Critical Path, ensuring that license-specific milestones are only shown for orders that require license tracking. For more information about how conditions work in Critical Path, see Order > Critical Path > Conditions.
Gender	Defines the intended target gender for the style (e.g., Men, Women, Unisex). This supports classification, filtering, and downstream reporting. The dropdown options for this can be configured in Site Settings > Style > Gender.
Type	Classifies the product category (e.g., Top, Bottom, Accessory). Product type may influence required specifications, sampling rules, and costing logic. The dropdown options for this can be configured in Site Settings > Style > Type.

Specification	Opens the Style Specification pop-up, which contains technical details including measurements, tolerances, sketches, and other technical requirements.
Samples	Opens the Style Samples pop-up, where colours, sample requirements, and sample reports are defined and managed.

Order Style Details

Administrator Configuration Required

All dropdown fields in this section are managed in Site Settings. Ensure the necessary administrator modules are configured before creating an order.

Helpful Tips

Clearly define size scales and ensure they match the site settings.
Use meaningful story and collection names for easier product tracking.
Ensure licence and contract fields are consistent with legal agreements.

Troubleshooting

Why are dropdown fields empty in Style Details?

Dropdown fields such as Size Scale, Story, and Collection are managed in Site Settings. If they appear empty, the relevant values have not been configured.

Steps to resolve:

Contact your administrator to review the dropdown configuration in Site Settings > Style
Verify the required values are enabled and active
Refresh the page after changes are made

Why are licence and contract fields not matching the expected values?

Licence fields are sourced from the License module. If values appear inconsistent, check that the license record is correctly linked and that contract details have been entered.
