Directories are lists of possible values of document attributes. Use some simple tips for editing directory codes so that the work of the enterprise does not stop because of the search for the necessary information in the huge lists of goods.
Instructions
Step 1
Change the code in the reference book taking into account that it must be unique and in no case repeat the name of another product or product. In modern computer programs, such an option is installed as an automatic check of the uniqueness of a certain combination of numbers. The code can be entered not only manually, but also by turning on the "Automatic numbering" option, saving your work from the lengthy verification of existing codes.
Step 2
Keep track of the length of the code. If the company works only with ten-digit numbers, then carefully dial the numbers each time. Do not forget to look into reference dictionaries. It is there that you will find data on the quantitative value of the code and the type of code. Working with a large turnover of goods also requires an alphanumeric code.
Step 3
The "Code length" dialog attribute sets the maximum code length for a directory item. The configurator allows you to set the length of the code equal to 0. This is required in cases when the code of the directory element is not used. Lack of code saves system resources. The length of the code is set "with a margin", therefore, when assigning this property, it is desirable to determine the possible length of the code.
Step 4
As a rule, the code in the reference books is in the left column before the "Name" column. Hover the cursor over the code cell you need and edit it. Take a look at the reference configurator. With its help, you can change the length of the code and remove, or add zeros.
Step 5
Do not forget about copies of documents. Changing the code is a good thing, but the program can crash. Unsaved documents will cause trouble. Recovering large archives takes a lot of time and patience. At any time, the numbering can get lost, which is hello to manual renumbering. For such cases, have SKUs or other additional details on hand.
