Re: How to Handle Product Numbers

The method we use is where MAPICS manages the ITEM numbers and within the 
Description field is our part number

EX:

Item            Desc:
78345           SL4512-12
23456           SL4512-08

We don't create an item number till we want to make it, just use the next 
number.
Our Engrg. Dept. & PDM handle creation of the part numbers.  Although we 
are
slowly phasing out the Oracle PDM.  Part number creation will be an 
internal
custom program that will create an ITEM number when necessary (off-line 
load?).

How to Handle Product Numbers






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?
