Deciding how to code assemblies
Assembly codes let you organize assemblies numerically and alphabetically. You can organize assemblies into work-related groups by setting up group assemblies. Example
Within the coding scheme, there are three main concerns.
- How many characters should assembly codes have? In general, short codes are easier to type. The maximum length is 20 characters.
- Should assembly codes be strictly numeric or include other characters? Your decision determines the order of assemblies on the spreadsheet, lists, and reports. Assembly codes with no more than one decimal point are considered numeric.
- Should assembly codes include a decimal point? If so, you must enter the correct number of decimal places when creating the assemblies.
