Techniques and definition logic embodied in a computer program product stored and performed on a computerized device for providing a singular graphical user interface configured to enable a user to create/manage/transact/report and view all full granular reference product data in a configurable transactable aggregate form
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for managing product data comprising:
- receiving a product type selection associated with a product;
defining by a controller a configurable transactable consolidation entry associated with the product type selection, the configurable transactable consolidation entry having (i) a collection of associated attributes;
sequenced attribute families, each attribute family having specifically included, referenced, cost defined, and selectable attribute values, representing multiple attribute characteristics permutations of the product, (ii) a single consolidation entry reference referring to the configurable transactable consolidation entry, (iii) core defining and descriptive data elements of the product; and
storing the configurable transactable consolidation entry in a memory location.

Abstract
A technique for managing product data uses a graphical user interface which enables product data entry in a manner that drastically reduces data entry time, and which enables visual presentation of product data in a manner that alleviates the need for users to scroll through lines detailing specific product characteristics permutations. Rather, the graphical user interface enables users to view product data in aggregate form regardless of differences in particular characteristics from one permutation to another. For example, the graphical user interface enables a clothing distributor to view consolidated shirt data regardless of differences in style, sleeve length, collar size, etc.
