What you see on the screen
- The screen says: “Decide how the code of a new item looks, per category. The code is made for you when the item is saved. A category with no pattern uses the normal product numbering.”
- The screen says: “Examples: BEV-{0000} → BEV-0001 · {CAT}/{YY}/{000} → DRK/26/001 · RM-{000} → RM-001. The number counts up on its own and a code already in use is never repeated.”
- Columns: Category, Code pattern, Next item will be, Used so far.
- Actions on the screen: Save.
