ERP Update: New Product Codes
This is our third article in our ERP series that covers the changes coming with our new ERP system. The first article in our April Newsletter introduced our new ERP System and the goals of implementing this project and the second article in our May newsletter delved into order confirmation documents.
This issue talks about changes to our product codes that are being made to both communicate information about the packaging of the product and to unify the multiple product coding systems which have arisen due to the merger of our different companies. We will also introduce new Item Number designations which are six-digit numbers that will appear on Order Confirmation, Invoices and other paperwork.
Examples:
New Product Code/Name |

As you can see in the above table, our new product codes are a relatively small change from the current ones but an important improvement in communication. There are a number of customers who have specific packaging requirements or questions about packaging and these new product codes will quickly communicate package construction (C if plastic is present in the bag), standard package size (the default is kg but an L is used to designate a package with a standard weight in pounds) and if the labeling complies with unique European requirements (designated with E).
Customers who have given us their specific internal codes for our products will see these printed on our Order Confirmation, which was explained in the previous article in this series and can be referred to on our website.
We will provide another update next month – stay tuned!
