The prefix can consist of only one character, for example 1, 2, 3 or A, B, C, etc. You can also enter a prefix name, using a maximum of 35 characters. When saving e.g. an order and selecting a prefix, the names give you information about the different prefixes.

Prefix on part number

Under the Part tab here, the prefix can only contain 1-8 characters and a name of the prefix. The E column should be checked if this should be an exception from the normal number series. If you make an exception from the normal number series, you should enter another number series here.
Please Note! You should keep in mind that the prefix plus the number series cannot be longer than 16 characters!
