Using More Than One Item Structure

You should set up your item structures to format your item numbers in a way that meets your needs for sorting and grouping items for inventory reports and lists.

The following table provides samples of several item structures. Note the following about the table:

• Consecutive Xs denote a segment in an item structure.

• Characters appearing between the segments of an item structure or item number are called separator characters.

• A character appearing at the front of an item structure or item number (such as the # in the fourth example in the following table) is called a prefix character.
