Assuming you are referring to inventory management for product variants (sizes, colors, etc.), there are a few different ways to approach this.

One method is to create a separate SKU for each variant, which can get very tedious and difficult to keep track of. This method is generally only recommended if you have a very small number of variants or if each variant has a very different cost.

Another common method is to use a "master" SKU for the product, and then use a variant matrix to track the quantities of each variant. This method is much easier to manage, but can become confusing if you have a lot of variants.

Your best bet is to talk to your inventory software provider and see what methods they recommend. They will be able to advise you on the best way to set up your inventory system based on your specific needs.

Product variants can be managed in different ways, depending on your needs. For example, if you’re selling a range of products with similar specs, such as apparel sizes, you can use a master product template to create variants. This creates a “master” product listing, which is then cloned to create a variant for each size, colour or other option.

Another option is to use a content management system (CMS) that allows you to create individual product listings for each variant. This allows you to add unique photos, descriptions and pricing for each option.

For products that involve a large number of options, such as furniture or computers, you may want to use a combination of both master products and individual product listings. This allows you to have a “base” product and a range of options that can be chosen to customize the end product.

Whichever method you use, it's important to ensure that your product variants are properly managed. Having a structured approach can help ensure accuracy and reduce the time spent updating product listings and managing inventory.
