This article will go over creating and updating variant items. Variants are different versions of the same item that have different attributes, such as size, color, or style. You can add variants to items in Rental Essentials to offer more options to your customers and track your inventory more accurately.

If you are updating an item that already had stock assigned, this stock will either need to be sold or removed from the item record prior to assigning Variant Properties.
