What is one characteristic of matrix items in NetSuite?

Matrix items in NetSuite are specifically designed to handle products that come with multiple options, such as size, color, or style. This functionality allows businesses to efficiently manage variations of a single product without having to create a separate item for each combination of options.

When a matrix item is set up, it becomes a parent item that can have various child items representing each unique combination of its attributes. This setup not only streamlines inventory management but also enhances the customer experience by allowing customers to easily see all available options for a product.

By combining options into a single matrix item, businesses save time on data input and can maintain cleaner product catalogs, making it easier for customers to find and purchase what they want.
