Hi,
I get a warning message of inventory items with non-unique identifiers
I only have 96 items. Have identified those 3 unique ones but cannot tell what could be the reason why Manager finds the other 93 non-unique. Any help to fix this would be appreciated. Note that a while back I did a Batch Update. Manager behavior with new items since the update seems inconsistent:
Just created a new test item and that has a unique identifier.
But my existing list has a mix of old items (prior to batch update) which are unique. And few new items created recently, after the batch update which are non-unique!
I also have a few Inventory Custom Fields but I don’t imagine that would have any bearings on this issue.
Thanks …
Are you using item codes ? - recently a new feature was added where it highlighted inventory items which had duplicate codes - same code but different products.
Have you clicked the “View” button - this should display the 93 items and show the matching coded products. If your products have no codes, then it could display all the products with no codes - as they match
Yes I’m using Item Codes @Brucanna . So is that what identifier is referring to? And yes I the have one code used for different products in many instances. In a way I use the Item Code as Item Type Code, not a unique identifier for each single product. That explains it, thanks.
I thought identifier refers to some internal auto-generated database code which might have been messed up with my batch update. @lubos I suggest to change the warning to read “… non-unique item code” which is what it actually is.
Yes I see the original purpose and will update. But the warning message is still misleading, and the change will help to avoid misunderstanding by others.
