Significant part number
An item number in which each individual character is coded to represent a product family, physical characteristic or other aspect of the part and does not use random characters. Significant part number schemes attempt to provide identification of the item merely by looking at the part number, and may encounter limitations when grouping or characteristic strategies change and item numbers need to be recoded. Separate fields that fill grouping and characteristic functions eliminate the need for significant part numbers.
