Evaluate the options provided: Review each method suggested in the problem and assess its practicality, efficiency, and alignment with standard accounting practices.

Option 1: Adding the product code as a separate transaction after each sale is recorded is inefficient and prone to errors. It creates unnecessary duplication and complicates record-keeping.

Option 3: Using the customer name field to enter the product code is not appropriate because it misuses the field intended for customer identification, leading to confusion and inaccurate records.

Option 4: Manually writing the product code in the notes section of each sales form is time-consuming and inconsistent. The best approach is Option 2: Customize the sales form template to include a dedicated product code field. This ensures the product code is systematically recorded and integrated into the financial accounting system.
