+# Internal Part Number (IPN) Generation
+
+Part-DB supports automatic generation and management of Internal Part Numbers (IPNs) for your parts. IPNs are unique identifiers that help you organize and track your inventory in a structured way.
+
+1. TOC
+{:toc}
+
+## What is an IPN?
+
+An Internal Part Number (IPN) is a unique identifier assigned to each part in your inventory. Unlike manufacturer part numbers (MPNs), IPNs are defined and controlled by you, following your own naming conventions and organizational structure.
+
+IPNs are useful for:
+- Creating a consistent numbering scheme across your entire inventory
+- Organizing parts hierarchically based on categories
+- Quickly identifying and locating parts
+- Generating barcodes for parts
+- Integrating with external systems (like EDA tools)
+
+## Basic Concepts
+
+### IPN Structure
+
+An IPN typically consists of several components:
+- **Prefix**: Identifies the category or type of part (e.g., "RES" for resistors, "CAP" for capacitors)
+- **Separator**: Divides different parts of the IPN (default is `-`)
+- **Number**: A sequential number that makes the IPN unique
+
+Example: `RES-0001`, `CAP-IC-0042`, `MCU-ARM-1234`
+
+### Category-Based IPN Prefixes
+
+Categories in Part-DB can have their own IPN prefix. When creating a new part in a category, Part-DB can automatically suggest IPNs based on the category's prefix.
+
+To set an IPN prefix for a category:
+1. Navigate to the category edit page
+2. Find the "Part IPN Prefix" field
+3. Enter your desired prefix (e.g., "RES", "CAP", "IC")
+
+### Hierarchical Prefixes
+
+Part-DB supports hierarchical IPN generation based on parent categories. For example:
+- Parent category "IC" with prefix "IC"
+- Child category "Microcontrollers" with prefix "MCU"
+- Generated IPN could be: `IC-MCU-0001`
+
+This allows you to create deeply nested categorization schemes while maintaining clear IPNs.
+
+## Configuring IPN Generation
+
+You can configure IPN generation in the system settings under `Tools -> System -> Settings -> Miscellaneous -> IPN Suggest Settings`.
+
+### Available Settings
+
+#### Regex Pattern
+Define a regular expression pattern that valid IPNs must match. This helps enforce consistency across your inventory.
+
+Example: `^[A-Za-z0-9]{3,4}(?:-[A-Za-z0-9]{3,4})*-\d{4}$`
+
+This pattern requires:
+- 3-4 alphanumeric characters for prefixes
+- Optional additional prefix groups separated by `-`
+- Ending with a 4-digit number
+
+#### Regex Help Text
+Provide custom help text that explains your IPN format to users. This text is shown when users are creating or editing parts.
+
+#### Auto-Append Suffix
+When enabled, Part-DB automatically appends a suffix (`_1`, `_2`, etc.) to IPNs that would otherwise be duplicates. This prevents IPN collisions when multiple parts might generate the same IPN.
+
+**Example:**
+- First part: `RES-0001`
+- Duplicate attempt: automatically becomes `RES-0001_1`
+- Next duplicate: automatically becomes `RES-0001_2`
+
+#### Suggest Part Digits
+Defines how many digits should be used for the sequential part number (default: 4).
+- 4 digits: `0001` to `9999`
+- 6 digits: `000001` to `999999`
+
+#### Use Duplicate Description
+When enabled, Part-DB will suggest the same IPN for parts with identical descriptions. This is useful when you want to track variants of the same component with the same IPN scheme.
+
+#### Fallback Prefix
+The prefix to use when a category has no IPN prefix defined (default: `N.A.`). This ensures all parts can get an IPN suggestion even without category-specific prefixes.
+
+#### Number Separator
+The character that separates the prefix from the number (default: `-`).
+
+Example: With separator `-`, you get `RES-0001`. With separator `.`, you get `RES.0001`.
+
+#### Category Separator
+The character that separates hierarchical category prefixes (default: `-`).
+
+Example: With separator `-`, you get `IC-MCU-0001`. With separator `.`, you get `IC.MCU.0001`.
+
+#### Global Prefix
+An optional prefix that is prepended to all IPNs in your system. Useful if you want to distinguish your inventory from other systems.
+
+Example: With global prefix `ACME`, IPNs become `ACME-RES-0001`, `ACME-CAP-0042`, etc.
+
+## Using IPN Suggestions
+
+### When Creating a New Part
+
+When you create a new part, Part-DB provides IPN suggestions based on:
+
+1. **Global Prefix** (if configured): Suggestions using your global prefix
+2. **Description Matching** (if enabled): If another part has the same description, its IPN is suggested
+3. **Direct Category Prefix**: The IPN prefix of the part's assigned category
+4. **Hierarchical Prefixes**: IPNs combining parent category prefixes with the current category
+
+Each suggestion includes:
+- The suggested IPN
+- A description of how it was generated
+- An auto-incremented version (ending with the next available number)
+
+### IPN Suggestion Types
+
+#### Common Prefixes
+These show just the prefix part without a number. Use these as a starting point to manually add your own number.
+
+Example: `RES-` (you then type `RES-1234`)
+
+#### Prefixes with Part Increment
+These show complete IPNs with automatically incremented numbers. The system finds the highest existing number with that prefix and suggests the next one.
+
+Example: If `RES-0001` through `RES-0005` exist, the system suggests `RES-0006`.
+
+### Manual IPN Entry
+
+You can always manually enter any IPN you want. If you've configured a regex pattern, Part-DB will validate your IPN against it and show an error if it doesn't match.
+
+## IPN Uniqueness
+
+IPNs must be unique across your entire Part-DB instance. Part-DB enforces this constraint:
+
+- When manually entering an IPN, you'll see an error if it already exists
+- When auto-append suffix is enabled, duplicate IPNs are automatically made unique
+- Existing parts retain their IPNs even if you change their category
+
+## IPNs in Labels and Barcodes
+
+IPNs can be used in label templates through placeholders:
+
+- `[[IPN]]` - The IPN as text
+- `[[IPN_BARCODE_C39]]` - IPN as Code 39 barcode
+- `[[IPN_BARCODE_C128]]` - IPN as Code 128 barcode
+- `[[IPN_BARCODE_QR]]` - IPN as QR code
+
+See the [Labels documentation]({% link usage/labels.md %}) for more information.
+
+## IPNs in Barcode Scanning
+
+Part-DB can scan barcodes containing IPNs to quickly find parts. When a barcode is scanned, Part-DB:
+1. Attempts to parse it as an IPN
+2. Searches for the part with that IPN
+3. Displays the part information
+
+This enables quick inventory operations using barcode scanners.
+
+## IPNs in EDA Integration
+
+When using Part-DB with EDA tools like KiCad, the IPN is automatically added to the component fields as "Part-DB IPN". This creates a direct link between your schematic components and your Part-DB inventory.
+
+See the [EDA Integration documentation]({% link usage/eda_integration.md %}) for more information.
+
+## Best Practices
+
+### Choosing Prefixes
+
+- **Keep them short**: 2-4 characters work well (e.g., "RES", "CAP", "IC")
+- **Make them memorable**: Use abbreviations that are obvious (avoid "XYZ" or "ABC")
+- **Be consistent**: Use the same style across all categories (all caps or all lowercase)
+- **Avoid ambiguity**: Don't use similar prefixes like "IC" and "1C"
+
+### Numbering Schemes
+
+- **Pad with zeros**: Use leading zeros for cleaner sorting (0001, 0042 instead of 1, 42)
+- **Leave room for growth**: If you have 50 parts now, use 4 digits (up to 9999) instead of 2
+- **Don't encode information**: Let the prefix and category do the work, not the number
+- **Sequential is fine**: You don't need gaps - 0001, 0002, 0003 is perfectly valid
+
+### Hierarchical Categories
+
+- **Limit depth**: 2-3 levels is usually sufficient (IC-MCU vs IC-MCU-ARM-STM32)
+- **Balance specificity**: More levels = longer IPNs but more precise categorization
+- **Consider searching**: Very specific categories are harder to search across
+
+### Changing Your Scheme
+
+- **Plan ahead**: Changing IPN schemes later is difficult
+- **Document your convention**: Add your IPN format to your regex help text
+- **Existing parts**: Don't feel obligated to renumber existing parts if you change schemes
+- **Migration**: Use import/export to batch-update IPNs if needed
+
+## Common Issues and Solutions
+
+### "IPN already exists"
+
+**Problem**: You're trying to use an IPN that's already assigned to another part.
+
+**Solutions**:
+- Choose a different number
+- Enable "Auto-Append Suffix" to automatically handle duplicates
+- Search for the existing part to see if it's a duplicate you should merge
+
+### "IPN doesn't match regex pattern"
+
+**Problem**: Your IPN doesn't follow the configured format.
+
+**Solutions**:
+- Check the regex help text to understand the expected format
+- Contact your administrator if the regex is too restrictive
+- Use the suggested IPNs which are guaranteed to match
+
+### Suggestions not showing
+
+**Problem**: IPN suggestions are empty or not appearing.
+
+**Solutions**:
+- Ensure the part has a category assigned
+- Check that the category has an IPN prefix defined
+- Verify that a fallback prefix is configured in settings
+- Save the part first before getting suggestions (for new parts)
+
+### Wrong prefix being suggested
+
+**Problem**: Part-DB suggests an IPN with the wrong prefix.
+
+**Solutions**:
+- Check the part's category - suggestions are based on the assigned category
+- Verify parent categories and their prefixes if using hierarchical structure
+- Set the correct IPN prefix in the category settings
+- Use manual entry with your desired prefix
+
+## Example Scenarios
+
+### Simple Electronic Components Inventory
+
+**Setup**:
+- Categories: Resistors, Capacitors, ICs, etc.
+- Prefixes: RES, CAP, IC
+- 4-digit numbering
+
+**Results**:
+- `RES-0001` - 10kΩ resistor
+- `CAP-0001` - 100nF capacitor
+- `IC-0001` - ATmega328
+
+### Professional Lab with Detailed Categories
+
+**Setup**:
+- Hierarchical categories: Components > Passive > Resistors > Surface Mount
+- Prefixes: COMP, PAS, RES, SMD
+- Global prefix: LAB
+- 6-digit numbering
+
+**Results**:
+- `LAB-COMP-PAS-RES-SMD-000001` - 0805 10kΩ resistor
+- `LAB-COMP-PAS-CAP-SMD-000001` - 0805 100nF capacitor
+
+### Makerspace with Mixed Inventory
+
+**Setup**:
+- Categories for electronics, mechanical parts, tools
+- Simple prefixes: ELEC, MECH, TOOL
+- Fallback prefix for miscellaneous: MISC
+- 4-digit numbering
+
+**Results**:
+- `ELEC-0001` - Arduino Uno
+- `MECH-0001` - M3 screw set
+- `TOOL-0001` - Soldering iron
+- `MISC-0001` - Cable ties
+
+## Environment Variables
+
+IPN settings can be configured via environment variables (useful for Docker deployments):
+
+- `IPN_SUGGEST_REGEX` - Override the regex pattern
+- `IPN_SUGGEST_REGEX_HELP` - Override the regex help text
+- `IPN_AUTO_APPEND_SUFFIX` - Enable/disable auto-append suffix (boolean)
+- `IPN_SUGGEST_PART_DIGITS` - Number of digits for part numbers (integer)
+- `IPN_USE_DUPLICATE_DESCRIPTION` - Enable/disable duplicate description matching (boolean)
+
+Example in docker-compose.yaml:
+```yaml
+environment:
+  IPN_SUGGEST_REGEX: "^[A-Z]{3}-\d{4}$"
+  IPN_AUTO_APPEND_SUFFIX: "true"
+  IPN_SUGGEST_PART_DIGITS: "4"
+```

+
+# Synonym System
+
+Part-DB includes a powerful synonym system that allows you to customize the terminology used throughout the application. This is especially useful when using Part-DB in contexts other than electronics, or when you want to adapt the interface to your organization's specific vocabulary.
+
+1. TOC
+{:toc}
+
+## What is the Synonym System?
+
+The synonym system allows you to replace Part-DB's standard terminology with your own preferred terms. For example:
+- Change "Part" to "Product", "Component", or "Item"
+- Change "Category" to "Group", "Type", or "Class"
+- Change "Manufacturer" to "Supplier", "Vendor", or "Brand"
+
+These custom terms (synonyms) are applied throughout the user interface, making Part-DB feel more natural for your specific use case.
+
+## Important Notes
+
+{: .warning-title }
+> Experimental Feature
+>
+> The synonym system is currently **experimental**. While it works in most places throughout Part-DB, there may be some locations where the default terms still appear. The synonym system is being continuously improved.
+
+## Configuring Synonyms
+
+To configure synonyms, you need administrator permissions:
+
+1. Navigate to `Tools -> System -> Settings`
+2. Find and click on "Synonyms" in the settings menu
+3. You'll see the synonym configuration interface
+
+### Adding a Synonym
+
+To add a new synonym:
+
+1. Click the "Add Entry" button in the synonym settings
+2. Select the **Type** (element type) you want to create a synonym for
+3. Select the **Language** for which the synonym applies
+4. Enter the **Singular** form of your synonym
+5. Enter the **Plural** form of your synonym
+6. Click "Save" to apply the changes
+
+### Available Element Types
+
+You can create synonyms for the following element types:
+

+
+## How Synonyms Work
+
+### Translation Mechanism
+
+The synonym system works by integrating with Part-DB's translation system. When you define a synonym:
+
+1. Part-DB creates translation placeholders for the element type
+2. These placeholders are available in both capitalized and lowercase forms
+3. The placeholders are used throughout the application where these terms appear
+
+### Placeholder Format
+
+Synonyms use special placeholders in translations:
+
+- `[elementtype]` - Singular, lowercase (e.g., "part" → "item")
+- `[Elementtype]` - Singular, capitalized (e.g., "Part" → "Item")
+- `[[elementtype]]` - Plural, lowercase (e.g., "parts" → "items")
+- `[[Elementtype]]` - Plural, capitalized (e.g., "Parts" → "Items")
+
+### Language-Specific Synonyms
+
+Synonyms are language-specific, meaning you can define different terms for different languages:
+
+- English users see: "Component" and "Components"
+- German users see: "Bauteil" and "Bauteile"
+- French users see: "Composant" and "Composants"
+
+This allows Part-DB to maintain proper multilingual support even with custom terminology.
+
+## Use Cases and Examples
+
+### Non-Electronics Inventory
+
+**Scenario**: Using Part-DB for a library
+
+**Synonyms**:
+- Part → Book
+- Category → Genre
+- Manufacturer → Publisher
+- Supplier → Distributor
+- Storage Location → Shelf
+
+**Result**: The interface now speaks library language: "Add a new Book", "Select a Genre", etc.
+
+### Manufacturing Environment
+
+**Scenario**: Managing production inventory
+
+**Synonyms**:
+- Part → Material
+- Category → Material Type
+- Part Lot → Batch
+- Storage Location → Warehouse Zone
+- Project → Assembly
+
+**Result**: The interface uses manufacturing terminology: "Materials", "Batches", "Warehouse Zones", "Assemblies"
+
+### Small Business Retail
+
+**Scenario**: Managing store inventory
+
+**Synonyms**:
+- Part → Product
+- Category → Department
+- Manufacturer → Brand
+- Supplier → Vendor
+- Part Lot → Stock Item
+- Storage Location → Store Location
+
+**Result**: The interface matches retail terminology: "Products", "Departments", "Brands"
+
+### Laboratory Setting
+
+**Scenario**: Managing lab supplies and chemicals
+
+**Synonyms**:
+- Part → Reagent
+- Category → Substance Type
+- Manufacturer → Chemical Supplier
+- Storage Location → Cabinet
+- Part Lot → Bottle
+
+**Result**: Lab-appropriate language: "Reagents", "Substance Types", "Cabinets"
+
+### Educational Makerspace
+
+**Scenario**: Managing shared tools and components
+
+**Synonyms**:
+- Part → Resource
+- Category → Resource Type
+- Storage Location → Area
+- Project → Activity
+- Part Lot → Available Unit
+
+**Result**: Educational context: "Resources", "Resource Types", "Areas", "Activities"
+
+## Managing Synonyms
+
+### Editing Synonyms
+
+To edit an existing synonym:
+1. Find the synonym entry in the list
+2. Modify the singular or plural form as needed
+3. Click "Save" to apply changes
+
+### Removing Synonyms
+
+To remove a synonym:
+1. Find the synonym entry in the list
+2. Click the "Remove Entry" button (usually a trash icon)
+3. Click "Save" to apply changes
+
+After removal, Part-DB will revert to using the default term for that element type and language.
+
+### Bulk Configuration
+
+If you need to set up many synonyms at once (e.g., for a complete custom terminology set):
+
+1. Define all your synonyms in the settings page
+2. Each element type can have synonyms in multiple languages
+3. Save once when all entries are configured
+
+### Duplicate Prevention
+
+The system prevents duplicate entries:
+- You cannot have multiple synonyms for the same element type and language combination
+- If you try to add a duplicate, you'll see a validation error
+- Edit the existing entry instead of creating a new one
+
+## Best Practices
+
+### Consistency
+
+- **Use consistent terminology**: If you change "Part" to "Product", consider changing "Part Lot" to "Product Item" or similar
+- **Think holistically**: Consider how terms relate to each other in your domain
+- **Test thoroughly**: Check various pages to ensure your terms make sense in context
+
+### Singular and Plural Forms
+
+- **Provide both forms**: Always define both singular and plural forms
+- **Use proper grammar**: Ensure plurals are grammatically correct
+- **Consider irregular plurals**: Some terms have non-standard plurals (e.g., "Box" → "Boxes", not "Boxs")
+
+### Language Considerations
+
+- **Match user expectations**: Use terms your users are familiar with in their language
+- **Be culturally appropriate**: Some terms may have different connotations in different languages
+- **Maintain professionalism**: Choose terms appropriate for your organizational context
+
+### Planning Your Terminology
+
+Before implementing synonyms:
+
+1. **List all terms**: Identify which Part-DB terms don't fit your context
+2. **Define replacements**: Decide on appropriate alternatives
+3. **Check relationships**: Ensure related terms work together logically
+4. **Get feedback**: Consult with users about proposed terminology
+5. **Document decisions**: Keep a record of your synonym choices for future reference
+
+## Limitations
+
+### Not All Locations Covered
+
+As an experimental feature, synonyms may not appear in:
+- Some error messages
+- Technical logs
+- Email templates (depending on configuration)
+- API responses
+- Some administrative interfaces
+
+The development team is working to expand synonym coverage.
+
+### No Automatic Propagation
+
+Synonyms only affect the user interface:
+- Database values remain unchanged
+- Export files use original terms
+- API endpoints keep original names
+- URLs and routes remain the same
+
+### Performance Considerations
+
+The synonym system:
+- Caches translations for performance
+- Minimal performance impact in normal usage
+- Cache is automatically updated when synonyms change
+
+## Technical Details
+
+### Cache Management
+
+Synonyms are cached for performance:
+- Cache is automatically cleared when synonyms are saved
+- No manual cache clearing needed
+- Changes appear immediately after saving
+
+### Translation Priority
+
+When displaying text, Part-DB checks in this order:
+1. Synonym (if defined for current language and element type)
+2. Standard translation (from translation files)
+3. Fallback to English default
+
+### Environment Variables
+
+Currently, synonyms can only be configured through the web interface. Future versions may support environment variable configuration.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Synonyms Not Appearing
+
+**Problem**: You've configured synonyms but still see original terms.
+
+**Solutions**:
+- Clear your browser cache and reload the page
+- Check that you've configured the synonym for the correct language
+- Verify that you saved the settings after adding the synonym
+- Remember this is an experimental feature - some locations may not be covered yet
+
+### Inconsistent Terminology
+
+**Problem**: Some pages show your synonym, others show the original term.
+
+**Solutions**:
+- This is expected behavior for the experimental feature
+- Check if you've defined both singular and plural forms
+- Report inconsistencies to help improve the system
+
+### Wrong Language Displaying
+
+**Problem**: Seeing synonyms from the wrong language.
+
+**Solutions**:
+- Check your user language preference in user settings
+- Verify you've configured synonyms for the correct language code
+- Ensure the language code matches exactly (e.g., "en" not "en_US")
+
+### Synonyms Lost After Update
+
+**Problem**: Synonyms disappeared after updating Part-DB.
+
+**Solutions**:
+- Check the settings page - they should still be there
+- Database migrations preserve synonym settings
+- If truly lost, restore from backup or reconfigure
+
+## Future Enhancements
+
+The synonym system is under active development. Planned improvements include:
+- Coverage of more interface elements
+- Synonym suggestions based on common use cases
+- Import/export of synonym configurations
+- Synonym templates for different industries
+- More granular control over term usage
