In Brahmin Solutions, a Product is a high-level grouping used to organize related inventory items.
Products act as the parent record for one or more variants. They help you keep your catalog clean and structured without duplicating similar items.
Key Characteristics of Products
A product:
Organizes related items under one name
Can contain one or many variants
Does not hold inventory quantities directly
Does not store pricing directly
Exists primarily for reporting, structure, and variant management
Product Naming Best Practices
Product names should remain generic.
Do not include variant attributes such as:
Size
Color
Style
Example Product Names
Chair
Table
Bike
Instead, differences like “Large” or “Black” should be handled through variants.
Products and Manufacturing / Purchasing
A product can represent items that are:
Manufactured internally
Purchased from suppliers
Sold directly to customers
Used inside other products as components
The specific behavior depends on the item’s flags (Buy, Sell, Make, Kit).
When should I create a new Product?
Create a product when you want to group multiple similar sellable items together, such as:
T-Shirts (with size and color variants)
Chairs (with material or finish variants)
Bikes (with style variants)
