Configuration Codes
<p>
A configuration code is a 50-character identifier for configured items. It allows you to see quickly and easily which options are used in a configured part. These codes take advantage of the system's lot control capabilities to allow you to cost, view, manufacture, and sell inventory based on the part/configuration code combination.</p>
<p>
A more detailed description of the configuration code may be provided using an expanded configuration code. The expanded configuration code can be used in the following two ways: to describe the short configuration code in more detail or to allow more options to be added to the configuration code. The expanded configuration code is optional and will be generated automatically, in the same manner as the 50-character configuration code. Up to 999 additional characters may be used in the expanded description. The 50-character code will continue to uniquely identify the configuration, with the expanded code serving as a more detailed description. The expanded code will be visible on a window wherever the configuration code is prompted.</p>
