Quick Jump: FAQ | Notes

3.1 FAQ ​

▪ Can I use Chinese characters for the code? ​

Yes, but uppercase English letters and numbers are recommended for easier system identification and import/export.

▪ Can I modify the code after creation? ​

Yes. However, before modifying the Code, ensure no external systems or import processes depend on this code, as it may cause data mapping errors.

Yes. Click the "Cancel" button or click outside the dialog to close it without creating the inventory type.
