| article order number |
An article order number is the number the customer sees in a product catalog. Normally this differs from the R/3 article number in that the catalog code is part of the number. The system can derive the catalog and R/3 article number from the article order number.
If the catalog number is used as a prefix or suffix to the article number, then the article order number consists of article number + catalog code. For example:
product catalog WINT + article number 12345 = article order number WINT-12345
