organization to customer Same document is
returned by customer to organization

Coding Techniques
Sequence Items numbered consecutively
Block Specific range of numbers are
associated with a category 10000–199999 = Electric Range
Group Positioning of digits in code provide
meaning
Mnemonic Letters and numbers Easy to memorize Code derived from description of item
Chart of accounts Type of block coding

Digit Position Meaning
1–2 Product Line, size, and so on
3 Color
4–5 Year of Manufacture
