## How to Configure Auto Number Length for Formula - Based Item Names?

In this tutorial, we’ll demonstrate how to **automatically generate item names** in Logic ERP using the **Auto Number Length** setting.

***

### **Accessing Configuration Settings**

* **Navigate to:** Setups/Setup Items and then click on **"Setup Items Multiple Packs/Sizes".**
* Click on the Configuration.
* Under the Configuration Options - 1 tab.
* Locate the option labeled as

> **“Auto No. Length”**.

### Configure Auto Number Length

* Set the **Auto No. Length** to **3**.
* Define the **Item Name Generation** using **“Item Name Formula + 1”**.

This ensures that all auto-generated numbers follow a **uniform 3-digit format** (e.g., 001, 002, 003).

### Review the Item Name Formula

* The formula here is designed to generate item names using:
  * **Category** + **Fabric** + **3-digit Auto Increment Number**.

* The **sequence will continue** only for items created under the same category and fabric.
* If a different category or fabric is selected, the **sequence resets** and starts from **001** again.

***

### Create New Items

* Create a **new item** with a defined category and fabric.
  * The system generates the item name automatically based on the formula.
  * The number appears in a **3-digit sequence** with leading zeros.
* Save the item.

* Create another item with the **same category and fabric**.
  * The auto number increments sequentially (e.g., 002, 003, etc.).

***

### Key Takeaway

* **Auto No. Length** ensures numbering consistency in item names.
* **Item Name Formula** provides flexibility by combining fields (e.g., category, fabric) with auto-increment numbers.
* The sequence **resets** when a different category/fabric is selected.

This setup helps maintain **structured, consistent, and error-free item names** in Logic ERP.
