Size Scales

The Size Scales section allows you to define and manage standardised size runs used across styles. These size scales support accurate spec creation, production planning, packing breakdowns, and B2B documentation.

Size scales define the specific sizes available for a style (e.g., XS–XL, 6–14, or 2T–5T). Each scale can include a name, description, size values, and optional pack breakdowns. Keeping this list accurate ensures smooth integration across order creation, tech packs, and BOMs.

Quick Check - Before You Start
  • You can edit Site Settings › Style › Size Scales
  • Confirm how Code, Description, and size columns must align with production and B2B grids
  • Plan Enabled by Default ticks so new styles do not ship with the wrong size run

Managing Size Scales

You can easily add, edit, and delete size scales to keep your product data consistent.

Add a Size Scale

  1. Click the Add New button in the top left corner.
  2. Fill out the following fields:
    • Code: A unique identifier for the size scale.
    • Description: A descriptive label (e.g., "Womens Standard XS–XL").
    • Sizes: Enter values across the size columns (e.g., XS, S, M, L, XL).
    • Enabled by Default: When enabled, the sizes you tick here will be automatically enabled when creating a new style that uses this size scale. This streamlines setup by pre-selecting sizes based on your configuration.
    • Pack Breakdown: Optionally define default pack quantities for each size.
    • Reference Image: Optionally upload a visual aid or spec reference.
  3. Click Save to finalise the size scale.

Edit a Size Scale

  1. Click the pencil icon next to the size scale you want to modify.
  2. Update the code, description, sizes, Enabled by Default, pack details, or image as needed.
  3. Click Save to confirm your changes.

Delete Size Scales

Common Pitfall

Deleting a size scale can break historical specs and orders that were built on that run. Disable the scale when you must keep legacy styles intact.

  • Single Delete: Click the trash can icon next to a size scale and confirm the action to remove it.

Pro tips
  • Use Clear Naming Conventions: Adopt a standard format for codes and descriptions (e.g., MENS-NUM-30-38 for "Men's Numeric 30–38"). This makes it easier for users to find and assign the correct scale.
  • Archive, Don't Delete: It is best practice to Disable outdated size scales instead of deleting them. This preserves historical data integrity for any styles that used them in the past.
  • Leverage Pack Breakdowns: Use the Pack Breakdown feature to pre-define standard assortments. This saves time and reduces errors when creating orders or style records.

Troubleshooting

Why do spec templates show the wrong measurements after I change a scale?

Templates lock to the scale selected at save time; changing column headers without updating templates causes mismatches.

Steps to resolve:

  1. Open each affected Specification Template
  2. Re-save measurements against the updated Sizes row
  3. Communicate the change to pattern and production teams
Why are new styles missing sizes we expect?

Enabled by Default only pre-selects sizes you tick on the scale.

Steps to resolve:

  1. Edit the size scale and review which sizes are ticked for default enablement
  2. Update styles manually where defaults were created before the change
Why is pack breakdown wrong on purchase orders?

Steps to resolve:

  1. Confirm the style uses the intended size scale
  2. Adjust Pack Breakdown on the scale and re-check order colour quantity grids
