I am newbie for Axapta 3.0v.  
  
Now we have a customer. They want to make four item attributes(dimension)  
  
color-size-treatment-packaging for a unique itemID.  
  
So that means itemID won't be able to create manually, I would coding on  
  
form\inventTable\datasource\inventTable\method\create, to stop 'Edit' and  
  
give customer a CREATE ITEM WIZARD.  
  
Because Axapta3.0v has standard item dimension(configuration-color-size).  
  
Can I take the advantange of this standard funcation, just create new  
  
field treatment and packaging, and Group this two field into Item  
  
Dimension??  
  
Customer finally wants to have bike(10)-red(02)-size 1(15)-treatment  
  
TT1(80)-Packaging UBM(25) as itemName, together hence ItemID would be  
  
1002158025 which created by my new Wizard.  
  
Project manager said I should create Item Attribute, not dimenstion for  
  
customer. Because each itemId would point to Price/Cost.  
  
In Stand Axapta 3.0v, itemId (Bike10) with different color/size would be  
  
the same price. (Or my project manager understanding wrong?), the  
  
itemId(Bike10) with special color/size should have different price. That  
  
is Attribute my project manger means............  
  
Big Problem for me. Because by my experience, I really can't handle this.  
  
Now I already create whole new system for project manager. four new table  
  
with all new extend data type, then four new tables  
  
colorgroup-sizegroup-treatmentgroup-packaginggroup which can let customer  
  
enter value. And also put Item Attribute in Inventory Management Set up.  
  
From there, you also can find Item Dimension and combination. Then I  
  
create a form for that Wizard to create new and unique ItemId.  
  
Then, obviously, other module like OLAP and CRM would not work on my Item  
  
Attribute.  
  
This item attribute would just work for Inventory Management and AR/AP....  
  
Terrible implementation by my understanding, But that is customer wants...  
  
Any guys here has good experience to handle this unique ItemId, and each  
  
dimension should attribute to price/cost???  
  
Thanks in advance for help.
