    Hi ClaireL 

     

    Given the nature of the Item Number in MYOB, this is not a feature MYOB offers. Item Numbers must be set by the user. You can do this manually or via import. Once set the Item Number can only be changed manually one at a time, unless done by an external party.

     

    Take care when adding items, while there is no technical limit, in the past moderators recommended no more than 5000. You will likely have more performance issues the more items you add.

     

    Regards

    Gavin

    Thank you Gavin,

     

    I thought this may have been the case regarding manually entering item numbers.

     

    Thanks for the heads up regarding inventory size.
