When one eyewear order contains several frame styles, colors, lens directions and packaging choices, a single total quantity is not enough for the buyer, supplier or receiving team to identify every intended configuration. An SKU and colorway matrix gives each order line a controlled reference before quotation, sampling and production review.
The matrix is a coordination document. It connects a buyer's internal line reference with the supplier's model, the requested configuration and the record used to approve it. It does not replace a quotation, sample approval record, inspection plan or market-specific compliance review.
| Field | Record |
|---|---|
| Buyer SKU / line reference | The buyer's internal identifier for this configuration. |
| Supplier model and product link | The confirmed starting model and the source page used for reference. |
| Frame and lens direction | Color, finish and requested lens function, each with its confirmation status. |
| Branding and packaging | Artwork version, placement reference and packaging specification version. |
| Quantity and approval reference | Intended quantity for the line, plus the sample or approval record and unresolved items. |
A supplier model identifies the starting frame; it may not describe the buyer's complete commercial configuration. For example, a buyer may use a real supplier reference such as A11067 Black Wayfarer Acetate Sunglasses as the source model while assigning a separate internal line reference for the approved frame, lens, logo and package combination. The example is a reference-mapping illustration, not a claim about available variants or commercial terms.
Do not rename the supplier model and discard the original reference. Keep both values so the buyer, supplier and receiving team can match the line without relying on a photograph or conversation history. If a reference is provisional, label it provisional until the supplier confirms it.
Use one row for each intended order-line combination. A different frame color, lens direction, logo version or packaging configuration should be visible rather than hidden in a note. For an early enquiry, an unconfirmed field can say "to be discussed." Before order release, it should have an agreed reference or remain a clearly identified open item.
An internal SKU is not automatically a GS1 GTIN. If the products will use GS1 identification, confirm the assignment with the brand's responsible person and follow the applicable rules. GS1 explains that product variations, including different colors and sizes, need their own GTINs in the relevant circumstances; do not invent barcode numbers or copy one identifier across distinct variants. Read the GS1 guidance on product variations before finalizing a barcode field.
Give the matrix a revision number and date. If the lens, logo or package changes, identify the affected rows and ask which documents or samples need to be reviewed again. Use the eyewear sample approval checklist for the acceptance record: the matrix answers "which configuration and how many?", while the approval record answers "which specification has been accepted?"
Before dispatch, compare the proposed packing list with the final line references and quantities. If cartons contain mixed configurations, request a clear carton-to-line breakdown so the receiving team knows what to reconcile. This is a documentation check, not a substitute for product inspection.
They may share a starting model, but give the intended configurations separate order lines so the color and quantity breakdown is explicit. Confirm the supplier's coding system rather than assuming it matches yours.
No. A row can reference documents that need review, but a completed spreadsheet does not establish test performance or market compliance.
No. Requested quantities and a target launch date are buyer planning inputs. Supplier acceptance, quantities, commercial terms and timing must be confirmed for the specific project.
Browse the Fashion Sunglasses collection, shortlist product links and build the intended style and color breakdown. Include the customization and packaging direction, then contact Jingseyewear to discuss the details that need confirmation before quotation and sampling.
