In The Edge, all items and transactions have unique identifiers, which are assigned automatically by The Edge. So you can easily access records, these are cross-referenced across associated customers, sales, items, services, and parts.

Although all records contain a store number, if you are a single-store operation, it is unnecessary to use the store number prefix. The store number is 001 by default and is only used behind the scenes.
For multi-store users, the store number is the location of the transaction by default. If you are searching for a record within your store, the store number is automatically assigned. However, if you are searching for an item or transaction outside your store, you must include the store ID.
There is never a need to type leading zeroes when searching for a record. For example, if you’re searching for item number 002-100-00001, you need only enter 2-100-1. The Edge fills in the leading zeroes.
