  To use the Variable Key feature, users must first assign a unique identifier to each item in their inventory. This identifier can be a combination of letters and numbers, or it can be a barcode or RFID tag. Once the identifiers have been assigned, users can then use them to track the item's movement throughout the supply chain. Additionally, users can use the Variable Key to quickly identify and locate items in their inventory.
