         </Header>
         <FuncDesc>An item code in ERP Enterprise can consist of a project segment and an item segment. If no PCS
		  project is present for an item, which means that the item is not customized,
		  the project segment of the item code is empty. ERP Enterprise then considers the
		  item code as consisting of nine spaces, followed by the name in the item
		  segment.</FuncDesc>
         <SimpleSection>
            <Paragraph>External applications, however, usually do
			 not recognize an item code consisting of an project segment and an item
			 segment, or an item code that is preceded by nine spaces. As a result, the
			 project segment of an item code that is transferred from ERP Enterprise to an external
			 application, is not recognized as such by the external application, and becomes
			 part of the item name.</Paragraph>

            <SectionTitle>Example</SectionTitle>
            <Paragraph>In an external application, an item defined
			 in ERP Enterprise with project
			 segment STANDARD, and item segment BIKE, is considered to have the same name as
			 a non-customized item with item name STANDARD BIKE.</Paragraph>
