Assigning Smart Part Numbers to a Product
Smart part numbers defined on a product class are not inherited by the products in the class. You must manually assign the part number generation method to a product.
When you assign a generation method to a product, this method is used for generating part numbers whenever this product is used in new quotes, orders and so on.
To assign a generation method to a product
Navigate to the Administration - Product screen, then the Product Definitions view.
In the Products list, select the desired product.
In the final applet, in the product Part Number Method field, enter the generation method information.
Click Release to make it take effect.
