Color Group
A named list of colour values, one per line, with a description and a number for the barcode.
What it is for
A group gathers the colour values that belong together, for example the ones used by one product range. Each line picks a value from Color and adds a description, a replenishment weight and a number used in a barcode.
The group itself is a reference list. No other screen picks the group, and nothing reads the Replenishment Weight or the barcode number columns today: they are recorded only.
