Hi,
Does each product have it’s own unique variant sequence, or is the variant sequence independent?
This is a follow-on to my earlier topic How to configure Product/Variant Sequence
I defined product and variant sequences:
Product Sequence:
Type: Incremental
Number Padding: 7
Increment Number: 1
Next Number: 1,000,001
Variant Sequence:
Prefix: “-” (no quotes)
Type: Incremental
Number Padding: 2
Increment Number: 1
Next Number: 1
and then created three products. I naively expected to see product-variant codes 1000001-01, 1000002-01, and 1000003-01, but instead got product-variant 1000001-01, 1000002-02, and 1000003-03.
Is this expected? If so, what is the rationale for having the variant code sequence independent and not per product as I had expected?
Also, if a product will not have additional variants, should I not define a variant sequence?
Thanks,
Dale
