Hi We have traditionally been using our manufacturers SKU numbers as our product codes/identification within our systems. However we are wanting to also have our own product numbering/item system and therefore be able to refer to suppliers SKU as the supplier number/code yet also have our system.

1. is this the norm/best practice when starting to look at inventory solutions and how dynamics best uses information in the field service module - quoting, inventory, invoicing etc etc

2. how do you set this up in Dynamics to do this? Assuming this is best practice and should be done. our business has in excess of 5000+ items we source and sell from multiple suppliers.

3. What are the best naming conventions/item identifier conventions? As I want to make sure we set this up properly and have a easy to follow and create system.

Welcome your advice and how to...

thank you in advance

Sue

Usually you need to customize that on the Field Service's customer assets entity and/or for the product's entity if there is a product connected to the asset.

Also refer to this blog to configure the new auto-numbering feature on Dynamics 365 v.9.0:

Microsoft has some input on the the naming: docs.microsoft.com/.../product-variant-identification-nomenclature
