## How to Auto - Generate Item Code by Incrementing Last Item Code?

In this tutorial, we’ll show you how to **generate a new item code automatically** from the code of the last item entered in Logic ERP.

***

### **Accessing Configuration Settings**

* Navigate to Setup\Setup Items and then select **"Setup Items Multiple Packs/Sizes Sizes".**
* Click on **Configuration**.
* Locate the option labeled as:

> **“Generate Item Code from Code of Last Item Entered”**.

* Save the Changes.

***

### Implement Feature with Disabled

* Keep the option **disabled** and create a new item.
* You’ll notice that the system automatically generates an item code, but you can also **remove it and manually enter** your own code.
* Save the item and then create another one.

Since the feature is disabled, the system does **not** generate the item code based on the last manually entered code.

### Implement Feature with Enable&#x20;

* Go back to **Configuration** and enable the option **“Generate Item Code from Code of Last Item Entered”**.
* Now, create a new item.

This time, the system will **automatically generate the new item code** based on the last item code you entered manually.

### Key Benefit

This feature helps maintain a **sequential and consistent item code structure**, saving time and reducing manual entry errors.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://kb.logicerp.com/logic-erp-learning-hub-tutorials-and-best-practices/setups/setup-items/setup-items-multiple-pack-sizes/configuration-multiple-packs-sizes/configuration-options-1/generate-item-code-from-code-of-last-item-entered.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
