Hi Steve,
I'll second that! ;-)
Inserting 'intelligence' into part numbering _was_ considered a good
idea
a long time ago. Today, however, I believe it is considered bad
practice
and should be avoided.
I believe current 'best practice' is to keep a separate part master
table.
That table, (or tables) can contain parameter fields for all of the
values
and 'intelligence' you want to associate with a given sku.
Cheers,
RonL.
