Item Code Searches
=
Throughout ComCept .Net, users are prompted to specify an inventory item. This is true of Invoicing and other point-of-sale screens, inventory adjustments, count sheets and virtually anywhere an item is affected. The fields for item codes are smart, helping you zero in on the item you are looking for. As you type an item code, a helpful list of selections will appear just below your entry, aiding your search.

Line Codes
Each inventory item in ComCept .Net is assigned an *item code*. Not all item codes are unique across all manufacturers. For example, Manufacturer A sells an item with part number "1234", and so does manufacturer B. Because Item Codes in ComCept .Net must be unique, many users have simply prefixed their item codes with a few extra letters to indicate the manufacturer, such as "MMM". Many software vendors call this a "Line Code".
An item code of “MMM 1234” is made up of three parts. The "MMM" is the line code. The space (" ") is the separator. The "1234" portion is the part number. Of course some customers use dashes ("-"), slashes ("/"), or other characters for separators.
