I assume you have put the hidden field in the item details list on the 
checkout page.  Because this is an iterating item list, on the final HTML 
page you end up with multiple hidden fields that have different values 
(item codes?) but all have the same name.  Authorize net gets the first and 
probably ignores the rest because of the name duplication?

First you need to check with Authorize.net regarding the proper way to 
handle multiple items, then you will need to create some code on your 
checkout page to implement it.  For example, if Authorize net lets you just 
append an serial number to the field name, you could do something like:

<input type=hidden name="product-[item-increment]" value="[item-code]">

...in the checkout item list.  I the browser, this would give you:

<input type=hidden name="product-1" value="98-001">
<input type=hidden name="product-2" value="B279-3A">
<input type=hidden name="product-3" value="CLEAN-KIT">

This an UNTESTED suggestion, just to give an idea on how to proceed.
