Linesheets
Building linesheets, presentation settings, and sharing with customers.
How do I see what a linesheet sold?
Click Statistics on the linesheet card. A panel slides in with what was actually ordered against it:
- 1Orders by customer — orders, units, articles bought into and value per customer.
- 2Units by article — units, value, and how many retailers bought each article. An article on one retailer is a different story from the same units spread across twelve.
- 3Colours, categories and gender — units, share and retailer count for each.
- 4Size curve — the average size run across every order, kept separate for alpha and numeric sizes.
The headline is the total order value — what the customers actually owe. If an order carries a discount, the line total is shown underneath so you can see both.
Sort Units by article by units or by value, and click a column twice to flip the direction.
What does "out on a pick" mean on an order?
Units that a pick has been requested for but that haven't shipped yet. They are committed — you can't request them a second time — but the stock is still on the shelf, so they aren't "shipped" either.
They get their own amber segment on the order bar for exactly that reason. Folding them in with the shipped units would say they had gone, and folding them in with the ready units would let the same garment be picked twice.
How do I see the statistics for a whole season?
Click the chart icon on any season, in either the card or the list view. You get the same statistics as a linesheet, plus a By linesheet table showing how the season split across the linesheets that belong to it.
An order counts towards a season if it is tagged with that season or if it came from one of that season's linesheets — so a direct order with no linesheet still appears, listed as "direct".
Why is an article in the wrong category in the statistics?
Because that is what your catalogue says. Categories in the statistics are folded through your product hierarchy (Settings → Products), so an article whose category field holds a subcategory name — "T-shirts" instead of "Apparel" — is rolled up to its correct parent automatically.
What can't be folded is a value the hierarchy has never heard of. Those units are counted separately and the card names them, with a warning, so you can add them to the tree rather than wonder where they went.
How do I create a linesheet?
Go to Linesheets and click "New linesheet". Select a season, then add products from your catalog. Arrange and customize the layout in the editor.
How do I share a linesheet with customers?
- 1In the linesheet editor, hit Preview to see exactly what buyers will see.
- 2Turn on the Public link toggle to get a shareable URL — send it to anyone.
- 3Or assign specific customers directly, so it appears in their buyer portal.
Can I customize the linesheet layout?
Yes. The linesheet editor lets you adjust product display, grid size, fonts, and presentation settings. You can reorder products by drag-and-drop.
What can customers see on a shared linesheet?
Customers see product images, descriptions, wholesale prices (from their assigned price list), and can add items to their wishlist or place orders directly.
How do I add products to a linesheet?
In the linesheet editor, use the product catalog panel to browse or search for products. Click "Add" to include them in the linesheet.
What's the difference between Pre-order and Stock mode?
Each linesheet has a mode, set in the editor:
Pre-order (default) — buyers order freely against the collection; quantities aren't limited by what's on hand. The classic sell-in linesheet.
Stock — for re-orders on immediates: buyers see live availability from the warehouse you pick (on hand, less what is already allocated to orders and any stock buffer), and their quantities are capped to it, so a stock linesheet can never oversell.
An order placed on a Stock linesheet takes its stock the moment it is placed: each line is allocated from that warehouse straight away, while the order waits for your confirmation, so the next buyer can no longer see those units. If two buyers race for the last pieces, the second order still goes through and the Allocation page shows what could not be covered. Cancelling the order releases the stock.
Can I keep some stock back from a stock linesheet?
Yes. On a linesheet in Stock mode, open Settings → Stock buffer and say how much of each size buyers must not be able to order: for your own web shop, a key account, or simply a safety margin.
- 1Every size: one rule for the whole linesheet, for example keep 2 units of every size.
- 2Per size system: EU Apparel, Tailoring, Shoes and so on each get their own rule, for example keep 20% of every EU Apparel size.
- 3Per size: refine one size, for example keep 5 units of M.
Each rule is in units or in % of what is on hand, and a percentage always rounds up, so a small stock is protected. The most specific rule wins; an empty box follows the rule above it, and 0 holds nothing back for that size. A product belongs to the size system that lists most of its sizes; sizes no system lists appear under Other sizes.
The tab shows what is on hand, held back and offered, per size, while you type. Buyers only ever see and can only order what is offered: the numbers they get already have the buffer taken off.
Can I stop B2B orders from taking the last units of an article?
Yes, with stock safeguards on the Inventory page (Stock safeguards in the header). Search an article and set how much of it B2B may never take: one rule for every size of the article, and, if you want, a different one for single SKUs. Each rule is in units or in % of what is on hand (rounded up), and a SKU's own rule overrides the article's.
The editor shows, per size, what is on hand, what is protected and what is left for B2B. From then on, allocation (by hand or Auto-allocate) never draws on protected units, stock linesheets never offer them, and an order placed on a stock linesheet cannot take them. Your own channels, such as the web shop and stores, are not affected.
Where do I upload a lookbook for a linesheet?
In the linesheet editor, Settings → General → Lookbook (PDF), or on the season itself (Seasons, open the season). The lookbook belongs to the season, so every linesheet of that season shows buyers a Lookbook button at the top; replacing it in one place replaces it everywhere.
Can buyers order with an Excel form instead?
Yes — some buyers live in spreadsheets, and that's fine:
- 1On the linesheet (or its card in your app), download the Excel order form — one row per style, one column per size.
- 2The buyer fills in quantities and sends the file back.
- 3In Orders → New order, use Import order form — the matrix fills itself from the file, matched by article number.
The size guide at the top of the form is built from the styles in that linesheet: one lettered row per size system its products actually use, showing only the sizes those products come in, in the order they carry on the product page. A linesheet of knits in S–XXL gets one row S–XXL and five columns; one that mixes tailoring in 44–56 with a one-size scarf gets a row for each. Each style's row names its letter, so the numbered columns always read off against real sizes. Two runs share one row only when they are truly the same scale: named sizes that overlap (S–L and M–XL), or numbers on the same step with no gap between them (36–40 and 38–42). Footwear in 40–45 and tailoring in 44–52 both contain 44 but never share a row — one row of both would show 45 and 47 under a suit — so a buyer is never offered a size a style does not exist in.
Each row carries the style's facts beside its sizes: article number, colour, gender, division, product type, made in, retail and wholesale price, and its composition ("Main fabric: 100% Cotton · Lining: 100% Cupro") when the product has one. The Composition column only appears when at least one style in the linesheet has a composition. The same form, pre-filled with the ordered units, is what a buyer downloads from one of their orders.
