Size × Colour Stock for Garments
Size and colour inventory is where most clothing shops lose track: the shirt sells, but nobody knows it was the last M in navy until a customer asks for it. In TripleBill an article is created once with its sizes and colours, every size × colour keeps its own stock, price and barcode, and the bill always says which one was sold.

One article, a grid of variants
Turn on garment mode and create an article — "Linen Shirt, Article 2241". Pick a size run (Tops S–3XL, Bottoms 28–40, Kids 1-2Y to 13-14Y, Footwear 5–11, or Free size; you can edit these) and the colours you stock. The grid shows every size × colour, and each cell is a variant with its own stock, selling price, MRP and barcode. A 3XL can cost more than an M; a barcode is generated for each one automatically.
The article's total stock is the sum of its variants, so the stock report still has one line per article when you want it, and a size grid when you need it.
- Size runs you can edit
- Your own colour list
- Stock, price, MRP and barcode per variant
- Article total = sum of variants
Picked at the counter, printed on the bill
Scan the variant's barcode and the exact size and colour go on the bill. Or pick the article and choose from the size picker, which shows what is in stock in each size and colour. The size and colour print on the bill and the invoice, so exchanges are simple.
Purchases come in by size too: the purchase bill has a size grid, so 12 pieces in 4 sizes and 3 colours is one line of typing per row, not twelve items.
- Barcode per variant
- Size picker at web and Windows POS and on invoices
- Size grid on purchase bills
- Size and colour printed on the bill
Reports by size and colour
| Report | Shows |
|---|---|
| Stock by size & colour | Every article with each size and colour in stock, its barcode and stock value |
| Sales by size & colour | Pieces sold and sales value for each article, size and colour |
| Sold without a size | Sales of size-tracked articles where no size was picked, so you can fix the stock |
A worked example: one kurta, fifteen variants
A shop buys a cotton kurta in sizes S, M, L, XL and XXL and colours Maroon, Navy and Beige — 4 pieces each, 60 pieces in all, at ₹420 cost. It sells S–XL at ₹899 and XXL at ₹949. After the first weekend, Stock by size & colour shows M and L in Navy sold out, XXL Beige untouched.
The owner reorders only Navy M and L, and puts XXL Beige on the front rack. The sales-by-size report at month end shows L was 34% of pieces sold — the next order is weighted that way.
Sample figures.
Labels, exchanges and markdowns
Print a barcode label for every piece when the stock arrives, so the size and colour on the label are the ones billed at the counter. When a customer comes back to exchange an M for an L, the bill shows exactly what was sold; take the M back on a credit note and bill the L.
At season end, the stock-by-size report shows which sizes are left in each colour, so a markdown can target the slow sizes instead of the whole article.
- A label per piece on arrival
- Exchanges as a credit note plus a new bill
- Markdowns aimed at the sizes that are left
What it does not do (yet)
- A third dimension such as fit or length — use size and colour, or separate articles
- Automatic markdowns by season — use discounts or a happy-hour style price change
- Styles grouped into collections or seasons in the reports — use categories
