An attribute is a characteristic that differentiates variants within an item group. Common attributes include Size (S, M, L, XL), Colour (Red, Blue, Green), and Material (Cotton, Polyester). Each combination of attribute values creates a distinct variant.
You define attributes when creating or editing an item group. Zoho Inventory generates all possible variant combinations from the attribute values you specify, which you can then customise individually.
Attributes are essential for apparel, electronics, and any product line where multiple configurations share a common brand identity but differ physically. Proper attribute setup prevents SKU proliferation in your item master.
