Item Numbering Methods

You can choose from three methods to automatically assign item numbers to configuration items:

Replace model item number with a sequence number

Replace model item number with the order number/line number

Append a sequence to the model number

For each method, you can specify which segment of the item flexfield you want to either append or replace. For the Order number/line number method, you can specify a delimiter to separate order number and line number.

For example, the following table illustrates the item numbers that would be created for different sales orders and different model item numbers. In this example, you have a two segment item flexfield with '-' as the delimiter, you have chosen '/' as the order number/line number delimiter, the sales order number is 123, the line number is 21, and the next available sequence number is 2001.
