Product Codes
To develop Product numbers, consider all the different types of merchandise (Products) that your store will carry and for which you would like to accumulate data for financial analysis.
| Hint If you space your initial Product codes evenly, you will be able to add new products relative to existing ones as the need arises. |
Two sets of sample Product codes are provided below -- one for a bookstore, the other for a gift shop.
