<h2 id="how-it-works">How It Works</h2>

<ul>
<li><b>Style with sizes</b> — When a style is linked to a <b>Size Range</b>, selecting the style elsewhere automatically brings in that size range, so you don't have to choose sizes separately.</li>
<li><b>Production use</b> — Styles and their size ranges are used on the <b>Production Order</b> screen to plan style-and-size combinations (for example, a shirt style across its size range).</li>
</ul>

<h2 id="faq">FAQ</h2>

<b>Do I have to set a size range on a style?</b><br>
No. The <b>Size Range</b> is optional, but linking one means the matching sizes are offered automatically wherever the style is used.

<b>Where are item styles used?</b><br>
Styles are mainly used for apparel-style products and appear on the Production Order screen alongside the size range.

<b>Why can't I delete a style?</b><br>
Styles that are referenced elsewhere cannot be deleted. Keep them inactive instead of removing them.

<b>How is item style different from variants?</b><br>
Styles and size ranges suit matrix products (apparel). <a href="#/inventory/inventory-variants">Variants</a> are attribute options (colour, size tags) on any item with <b>Has Variants</b>.

<b>Can I use styles without size ranges?</b><br>
Yes. Size range is optional; styles can stand alone on production orders when your workflow uses them.
