Hi Glumsden,
Ironically, I just sent a post yesterday on how to delete the skus if you make a mistake.
Here are instructions that I sent to a client on setting up attributes:
Attributes (Ex. Belt Sizes):
I added belt size attributes to the site (see Admin, Product Management, Product Attributes):
If you add Size as a product attribute, the product detail page will have a drop down listing:
· Small 28-32
· Medium 30-36
· Large 32-40
· XL – Please Call
If the customer selects a size, the item code will have the following suffixes tacked onto them:
· -SM
· -M
· -LG
· -XL
How to add an attribute to a product:
I had to customize dashCommerce because there was no way of clearing the skus if you already enabled a product. So I added a clear skus button on the product sku tab. Here are the steps I took to add the belt size attribute to item 100104 (Diamond Design Wooden Belt).
To add an attribute to a product:
1. Find the product to administer.
2. Click on the skus tab.
3. Click Clear Skus (the new button I added).
4. Click the Attributes tab.
5. Click the Add link next to the Size attribute on the left.
6. Click the Is Required box if the user is required to specify the size in order to add the product to the cart.
7. Click the Sku tab
8. Click the Save button
