One for shoes and the other set for apparels.

Another major enhancement to the earlier version. Just like any other SAP Business One Addon from CitiXsys, it is now possible to implement iMatrix in an already implemented SAP Business One. This means that it is now possible to convert existing items to parent / child items.

  • Named Licensing – With this release Item Matrix Licenses would be consumed on named basis but not on login sequence basis, wherein authorized IM users would always be able to create SKUs irrespective of their login time.

It is now possible to name the user(s) in the organization who will use iMatrix. Till the last version the licenses were consumed based on login sequence.
