Important Notes:

  • Colours cannot be deleted once linked to a job product or cost sub type.
  • Marking a colour as inactive will prevent users from selecting colour for new job products or cost sub types, but colour will still appear on existing job products and cost sub types.
  • Colours can be configured to be selectable only for job products, only for cost sub types, or both.
  • Colours can be renamed but new name must still be unique, and all existing job products or cost sub types linked to this colour will display new colour name.
  • Cost Type must have 'Has Colour' enabled in order to be able to set colours for the cost sub types of this cost type.  
  • Default colour of a cost sub type can be set in Sync Admin, but this can be overridden after cost sub type has been added to a product's BOM.
  • Colour of a job product cannot be changed once a UPC has been assigned to it. 
  • Colour of a job product cannot be changed if the product has been published to Mobile Sales.
