How would you configure the item number generation for a configured item starting with "CNF"?

The correct choice for configuring the item number generation for a configured item starting with "CNF" is attributed to the comprehensive settings it offers. This option allows you to create a systematic approach for item numbers that not only starts with the specified prefix but also incorporates a delimiter.

Setting the Starting Number to 10,000 ensures that the generated item numbers are unique and do not conflict with existing numbers. The Prefix "CNF" indicates that these items are configured, providing clarity and organization within the item catalog. The Increment by 10 means that every successive configured item will have a distinct identifier, thereby facilitating easier tracking and management of inventory.

Incorporating a delimiter, specifically the hyphen, enhances readability. This element separates the prefix from the numerical sequence, which is beneficial for users who are scanning or searching for specific items. With all these elements combined, this configuration maximizes efficiency in both item number creation and usability for end users.

The other configurations lack elements that are particularly relevant for the goal—such as either not using the correct prefix or not adding a delimiter, which could make the item numbers less intuitive. Therefore, the comprehensive approach in the selected option offers the most effective configuration for item number generation in this scenario.
