First you need to know how the Cabinet Itemizer matches the cards with each cabinet and its add-ons. You have 2 kinds of cards. One kind for the box and another one for the add-ons. During the matching process each cabinet name (made of a maximum of 11 characters) will be matched with one box card for the cabinet itself and one add-on card for each add-on it has.
So a bottom cabinet with 1 left door and 4 drawers will use 6 (1+1+4) cards to create the cutting list. You can also specify a model number to differentiate special case for a same cabinet name. The matching process tries to find the most specialized (perfect) match. If it does not find a card with that name, then it tries a more general name.
By example, suppose you have a cabinet named BC30L-4DR that use a door style that begins will the number 2000. The Cabinet Itemizer will search for cards with those names below. One time for the box itself. One time for the door add-on. One time for each of the 4 drawers. To verify if a specific card is really use simply add a marker in the piece name like "XXXBack panel". If you see the XXX that will confirm the match.
If you want to avoid a general match simply create a card with a more specific name that will match earlier in the process. A few experiments and all this will appear very simple. You can also create empty add-on cards to trap specific cabinet's names (or add-on model numbers) and put all the add-ons pieces in the box card instead. That is frequently used with face frame cabinets using panel add-ons to make the frame.
Try #1: "2000 BC30L-4DR"
Try #2: " BC30L-4DR"
Try #3: "2000 BC##L-4DR"
Try #4: " BC##L-4DR"
Try #5: "2000 BC"
Try #6: " BC"
Try #7: "2000 DEFAULT"
Try #8: " DEFAULT"
