Item Number Display Needed
I would like to be able to display the zencart auto generated item number on the Order, the Invoice, and the Packing Slip.
We list many items with very similar names and some with exactly the same names. An auto-generated Item Number is the best and only way to guarantee uniqueness of items purchased and shipped so there is no confusion of similar or same named but different items.
The Model Number field is not foolproof for unique numbers which would need to be entered manually. Who can accurately remember the last number entered except the computer. We have hundreds of vintage hankies to sell, and who can ever remember all the names used to describe them, making it probable to accidentally use confusingly similar names or exact duplicate names for hankies that look very similar.
An item number on all the order and shipping forms would solve this problem.
Ebay uses item numbers, manufacturers use part, model and serial numbers to differentiate similar items.
We are selling donated antiques and collectibles so every item is unique. When we run out of an item, we cannot re-stock.
We have no use for the model number and could leave it off the forms in favor of the item number.
