One of the cool features of Uphance is that it makes apparel production order management a breeze.

Before you can populate a sales order or production order, you'll need to add your products to your Uphance account. Luckily, it's quick and easy to add products to Uphance and only a minimum of information is required before you can get started building orders.

It's also possible to import product data by uploading a spreadsheet. All the different aspects of the product data (variations, pricing, images) can be specified in the spreadsheet.

To add a new product, navigate to Product Information >> Products. Then click the Actions button.

Then click Add New Product, and a popup will appear upon clicking.

Complete the 5 fields listed below and then click "Create Product".

Note:  For information on "This is a product bundle" feature, please see our Combination Products (Bundling) Knowledge Article.

Once you complete the above information, you will automatically be taken to the Product Details tab.  On this screen, you can update these fields:

Select the Category for your product using the drop down list. Categorizing your product helps you locate them more quickly using filters. Examples of categories are hats, dresses, etc.  

Here are examples of Categories:

If you do not see the category you need, feel free to select "uncategorized".  Or, if you want to create a new category, navigate to Settings >> Product Setup. When you get there, add a new product category like so:

Select your sizes from this drop down list.  Or, select Edit sizing system or Rename a size label.  

Specify tags which will help you search for your product later.

You will add a Product Image as a "cover image" on the Image tab.  The cover image will represent your product.  You can click on the "Images tab" link to get there from your Product Details page or click on the Images tab directly.

Once your cover image is added to the Images tab, it will be displayed on the Product Detail tab going forward:

Scroll down to the Description section where you can enter descriptions for your eCommerce, Showroom and Line sheets for your product.

Don't forget to save your work when you have entered this information by clicking on Save blue button in the top right corner.

Scroll down to the Sales section to see what Sales are associated with your Product.  For more information on the "shore more" feature, please see our Sales Order Current State Status Report Knowledge Article.

Directly below the eCommerce/Showroom section on your Product>Details tab, you will see a section for "Related Products".  The "Related Products" works similarly to "Favorites" on Contacts>Customers.  You can add or remove products in both places.  These products will be displayed for your customer to entice their interest while they are browsing this particular product.  For example, if your product is a blue shirt, you may have other blue shirts you want to display as "related products".  Or, perhaps there are boots, scarves, purses or other accessories that would complement that product.

NOTE:  For your eCommerce/Showroom, the "favourite" products will appear for your customers as well if the products are in a Season that is not marked "hidden" and is marked to "Show in Showroom" under Settings>Season.
