Product, article and SKU numbers are generated from templates on the Article Numbers page. Each template builds the number from variables when the item is created.
⚠️ This page is set up usually during onboarding, by whoever owns your numbering — it isn't something to change back and forth. The templates here drive numbering across the whole system, so a change has wide effects. If you're not sure what you're doing, leave it as it is or contact your product owner or Resourced support team.
Number templates
The Article Numbers page holds three templates — the product number, the article number, and the SKU number. Each is a Liquid template you build from variables: click a variable in the Available variables list to drop it in at the cursor, and add filters to shape it (for example pad_left to zero-pad a sequential number, or last to take the deepest hierarchy code). Click Save on the template you changed. Liquid is a simple templating language widely used and easy to look up online for help.
We always recommend keeping as little logic as possible in an article number — it makes for an easier way of working.
What each template can use
Each number builds on the level above it:
The product number can be built from things at product level.
The article number can be built from the product number plus things at article level.
The SKU number can be built from the article number plus things at size level.
