4. Enable the Beyond Catalog Active slider. With this setting, you use Beyond Catalog Items instead of the default non-stock items in Business Central.
5. Under the Price Handling field, select how the prices for items are set. You can choose from the following options:
   • If you do not use price lists and set the price on the item or catalog item card, select the Item Card option.
   • If you use price lists, select the value Price List. Once you have selected the option, you can enter further information on a specific price list in the Price Source Type and Price Source No. fields.
6. Under the Numbering tab, you can specify a number for Beyond Catalog Items in the Catalog Item Nos. field. The number is incremented by the value 1 for each Beyond Catalog Item. We recommend that you define as large a range as possible (for example, BYD-000001).
7. The Last Catalog Item No. used field is populated by the system once the sequence number is set up.
8. Under the Company Setup tab, you can define the companies in your environment for which Beyond Catalog is used. Please note that the companies stored here are pre-assigned by the system when a catalog care task is created.
   The Last Price Update field is provided with a time stamp by the system as soon as a task for price maintenance has been executed.

You have set up BEYOND Catalog.
