Item variant visibility #5485

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe 👀

With GAPS, we plan to use a script to pre-populate a database of item_variants and packaging_variants that will be used for cold storage planning, however the installations will probably only want to use a limited number of these for stock management and for use in their supply chain. Often only 1 or 2 variants will be relevent for stock management.

Describe the solution you'd like 🎁

A check box for item variants that enables/disables their visibility.

Describe alternatives you've considered 💭

We could target which item_variants get created for an item, however this would potentially be lot of work and forecasting might be incorrect if a different item variant is selected from the master data.

We could simply delete the unused item_variants, but that would have the same problem of not making alternatives available for forecasting.

Discussed this as not necessary for now, as likely not to have too many variants, lower priority

We might need to persist the last choice though?

As it would be super annoying if they have 2 variants but the wrong one pops up at the top 90% of the time and they have to switch the selection every single time..

adamdewey commented 5 days ago

Actually, I think the current behaviour is the selector is blank, so maybe not such an issue.

Could be kind of nice to populate it if there is only 1 variant though..
