Matrix

Products often have a number of variations, although they share the same basic properties. An example is the style item root level 0 jeans. Customers may demand variations in the attributes of jeans, such as skinny, short, straight leg, boot cut, and faded. After you enter the style item root level 0 jeans, you create matrix definitions to handle variations in the product hierarchy. The matrix enables you to easily access all available variations of a style item when you enter just the style item root level 0.
