Before you start
Check product code, name, specification and unit. Only administrators can change the site-wide threshold.
Steps
- Choose a pending product or add a short name; verify specification and unit before saving.
- Lookup prefers matching code/name with exact specification/unit, then whole-product entries; renamed products can fall back to the same code.
- Check affected unbatched lines and confirm the short name in newly downloaded App work.
Verify the result
The success message reports how many unbatched order lines were updated.
Notes and examples
The length threshold controls the pending list, not automatic truncation. Saved aliases take precedence over format-generated short names.
Limitations
Batched orders retain their existing names. Deleting an alias does not clear existing order values.
Troubleshooting
Check code, name, specification and unit when unmatched. Existing downloaded batches are not rebuilt to update names; preserve work progress.
