Maintaining Unique Model Numbers

[ted]

Is there a switch in Admin for the cart to not allow Model Number duplications? I need to keep unique Model Numbers and with products from so many suppliers sometimes these numbers overlap and create me problems with EZ Populate as well as inventory.

No, there is not a safety for unique model numbers. I would suggest using the first 2 or 3 letters of the manufacturer's or supplier's name with the number-

EXAMPLE:

Fodder's Widget model #123456 - FOD123456

Smidget's Dohicky model #123456 - SMI123456

Thanks Kim, that's just what I was deciding on, just wanted to make sure my eyes hadn't seen and not comprehended a switch.

Appreciate all you do!
