Hi Gerard,
Can we have some more context? Can you give us any more info on the meanings of the constituent parts of the code?
HARWES0001 >HAR = hard drives?
WES = Western Digital?
0001 = ?
That last part (‘0001’) is often (more generically) referred to as the ‘suffix (code)’
See e.g.:
http://www.yokogawa.com/ddm/info/info_110111-en.htmhttp://www.ecatalog.ethicon.com/general-infoHowever, we need to know what this part of the product code is being used to refer to.
Is it used for tracking of some kind (tracking number/code/suffix)?
Is it being used to identify the model of the product?
Is it a generic number tagged onto the end of all product codes to identify individual items (for tracking purposes or otherwise)?
etc.
