Specifies the number of the item. The field is either filled automatically from a defined number series, or you enter the number manually because you have enabled manual number entry in the number-series setup.
You can use one of the following methods:
-
If you have set up a default item number series, press ENTER to have the program fill in this field with the next number in the series.
-
If you have set up more than one number series for items, choose the field and select the series you want to use. The program will fill in the field with the next number in that series.
-
If you have not set up a number series for items, or if the number series has a check mark in the Manual Nos. field, you can enter a number manually. You can enter a maximum of 20 characters, both numbers and letters.
The number identifies the item. When you enter the item number on a sales quote, for example, the program will automatically retrieve the relevant information (such as description, unit of measure and unit price) and enter it on the lines.
Use an item number that contains as much information about the item as possible, for example type of item, vendor and size.
You cannot fill in the other fields in the Item table until you have entered a number in the No. field.
