Item Number

Enter a number that identifies the item. The system provides three separate item numbers plus an extensive cross-reference capability to alternative item numbers. The three types of item numbers are:

• Item Number (short)

  An 8-digit, computer-assigned item number.

• 2nd Item Number

  A 25-character, user-defined, alphanumeric item number.

• 3rd Item Number

  Another 25-character, user-defined, alphanumeric item number.

In addition to these three basic item numbers, the system provides an extensive cross-reference search capability. You can define numerous cross-references to alternative part numbers. For example, you can define substitute item numbers, replacements, promotional items, bar codes, customer numbers, or supplier numbers.
