Make an ID for each item in an order
This is useful, for example where there are custom products and the product code (such as DESKEXEC) is not unique to each item in the order.
Y - create product ID
N - do not create product ID
The ID is created by as:-
order number / item number in order
For example: 00002346/003
The ID is written to the product description field in the REQ file when the order is saved. Note the full ID number in the description field is not visible at the order screen but the line numbers are shown on the screen for each order.
To print the product ID on forms set up the PRODUCT_ID field in Form Design.
Note - an ID is only created for each line that has a number in the Order entry grid - this excludes the extra lines for each order from the ID sequence.
Grid No. Code ID Number
001 product 1 0012345/001
note 1 0012345/001
