How do YOU name your NetSuite items?

How do YOU name your NetSuite items?

This question is ONLY directed to people who have NOT run into problems with item searches ... item searches in both the WEB STORE and item searches when adding an item to a SO (in the NetSuite back end).  Sales Order item searches should work for both "descriptive terms" and "part number". Web store searches only need to work with the "descriptive terms", but I wouldn't object tot them aslo working with the part number.

Please format your answer like THIS:

Enter the data for a NEW item using your tried and true naming scheme.  The item is called a "Cosswell Cog" by both you and your vendor.  The vendor part number is 123456 and you also use the same part numbers as your vendors.

Howdy, Stranger!
