Default SKU Generator L/S Style (J04)

Purpose: Use this screen to define whether the SKU generator automatically creates a Long SKU style for each SKU created.

Yes/No field: Select this field if you want the SKU generator to automatically create a Long SKU style for each SKU created.

• If a long SKU style code is defined for the base item, the system creates a long SKU style code for each SKU using the base long SKU style code + SKU code.

• If a long SKU style code is not defined for the base item, the system creates a long SKU style code for each SKU using the item code + SKU code.

Example:

Item	Base L/S Style	SKU code	SKU L/S Style
AB101	LSAB101	RED WMNS SMLL	LSAB101REDWMNSSMLL
BC202	N/A	RED WMNS SMLL	BC202REDWMNSSMLL

Note: The Long SKU style field is 20 positions. If the generated long SKU style code is greater than 20 positions, the system will truncate the value to 20 positions.

This system control value only creates a long SKU style code for a SKU when you are using the SKU Generator (ESKG) menu option; this system control value does not default any value to the Long SKU style field when you are using the Work with Items (MITM) menu option.

Require unique long SKU style? If the Require L/S Style (I94) system control value is selected, the system will require a unique long SKU style code for each SKU.

Long SKU style defaults: The table below explains how the Long SKU style field is updated, based on system control value settings and whether a long SKU style code exists for the base item.
