Notes on Setting Up Product Codes.
Code.
This is a unique code up to 15 characters long, consisting of all numbers, all letters or a combination of both. Whether or not these Product Codes appear on your printed Invoices depends on which Invoice Layout you choose. For example, an Accountant may wish to set up a code ACC1 with a description “For professional services in preparing year end accounts” etc. When creating an invoice he/she will want to use the feature to retrieve the standard description and fee, but not have the code ACC1 printed on the Invoice.
The Product Code cannot be changed in the accounting software.
