Re: How to Handle Product Numbers

Have you considered Features and Options?  It's free (included with COM),
and I'd think you could easily set up an option for length.  One part
number, with a feature/option of how long it would be.  Reporting can
fairly easily be done off the S-Number.

Possible alternative to a gazillion parts, and did I mention that it's
free?  As in included with COM at no additional cost?

Not a frequent thing to discover today.....

We create a different part number for each product we make, but it is out
of
control.  Most items are the same type of product but different lengths, so
for example a piece of roofing that is 24" long has one part number and a
piece that is identical expect 26" long has a different part number.  Does
anyone know a better way to handle this within MAPICS?
