Enumerate list with each item in a new row

Question

Q: How can I create a table which contains a continuous numerating list with each item in a new row. So I can insert content for the other columns in that row.
I use luatex.
The result should look like this (Word): I tried it with enumerate and came up this idea which doesn´t work (look at the comments)(shortened content):

\documentclass[8pt,a4paper]{extarticle}

\usepackage{array}
\usepackage{enumitem}
\usepackage{tabularx}
\usepackage[left=1.2cm, right=1.2cm, top=0.0cm, bottom=0.0cm, headheight=37pt, includeheadfoot]{geometry}

\begin{document}

\begin{tabularx}{\textwidth}{p{8cm}|X|X|X|X|X|}
    \textbf{Bezeichnung} & \textbf{Einzelpreis} & \textbf{Anzahl}
    & \textbf{Intervall} & \textbf{Rabatt} & \textbf{€/Monat}\\
    \hline%<----->
    \begin{enumerate}[label=\Roman*,noitemsep]
        \item System: Software as a Service  Geltungsbereich Arbeits- und
        Gesundheitsschutz % &40,00€ & 1&Laufzeit &10\% &36,00€ \\ <--- Idea but doesn´t work...
        \item IT-Service-Pack Release, Update, Support:\newline
        Übernahme der kompletten IT-Administration und weitere Dienstleistungen
        \item Management: Auswahl-, Bestellung-, Überwachungs- und
        \item Audit zur Evaluation und Qualitätssicherung %& 7,39€ & 1 & Laufzeit & 10\% & 6,46€ \\ <--- I need smth like this...
    \end{enumerate} &40,00€ & 1&Laufzeit &10\% &36,00€ \\ %<---- Only this works
    \hline%<----->
    Summe & & & & &36,46€ \\
\end{tabularx}

\end{document}

which looks like this:

Welcome to TeX.SX! You can have a look at our starter guide to familiarize yourself further with our format. Please help us help you and add a minimal working example (MWE) that illustrates your problem. Reproducing the problem and finding out what the issue is will be much easier when we see compilable code, starting with \documentclass{...} and ending with \end{document}. — Alessandro Cuttin, Jul 19 '19 at 09:36
Hi, thanks for your comment. I edited the question and provided a working code snippet. — brinkmannf, Jul 19 '19 at 09:50
Do you mean different items should be in different table rows? — Bernard, Jul 19 '19 at 09:54
@Bernard as of my understanding, the OP wants all columns should be in top alignment, if not so, he may correct me ... — MadyYuvi, Jul 19 '19 at 10:01
@MadyYuvi: I wondered, because the last item in the Word screenshot is followed by non-empty cells, aligned with it. — Bernard, Jul 19 '19 at 10:20
@MadyYuvi I want to have a continuous numbered table with roman numerals. But that numerals should not be in a separate column. Therefore I tried that with a list — brinkmannf, Jul 19 '19 at 10:26

Similarly to @Bernard answer, but some details are different:

for the first column is defined column type E for enumerated contents:

\makeatletter
\newcommand*{\compress}{\@minipagetrue}
\makeatother
\newcolumntype{E}[1]{ >{\compress\enumerate}p{#1}<{\endenumerate}}

which simplified writing lists in the first column

for enumerate list is defined the following setup:

\setlist[enumerate]{%
                 resume=column,
                 nosep,
                 label=\Roman*.,
                 leftmargin=*,
                 after=\vspace*{-\dimexpr\baselineskip + \partopsep}}

for resuming enumeration of list is used option resume=column, in enumerate list set up
for start enumeration at I. is dedicated \setcounter{enumi}{0} before first \item in column (see MWE below)
I didn't bother with coloring numbers (it wasn't clear to me, if in some column all number are red, or they are select according to some other criteria)
for compilation is used xelatex (due to use € characters for currency)

Complete MWE is:

\documentclass[8pt,a4paper]{extarticle}
\usepackage[hmargin=1.2cm, vmargin=0.0cm, 
            headheight=37pt, includeheadfoot]{geometry}
\usepackage{enumitem}
\usepackage{ragged2e}
\usepackage{tabularx}
\makeatletter
\newcommand{\compress}{@minipagetrue}

\newcolumntype{E}[1]{ >{\compress\enumerate}p{#1}<{\endenumerate}}
\newcommand\mcbf[1]{\multicolumn{1}{>{\bfseries}l|}{#1}}
\begin{document}
\setlist[enumerate]{  label=\Roman.,
                 nosep,
                 leftmargin=,
                 after=\vspace{-\dimexpr\baselineskip + \partopsep}}
\begin{tabularx}{\linewidth}{ >{\RaggedRight}E{5cm}{5}{|X}|}

    \hline%<----->
    \setcounter{enumi}{0}

\end{tabularx}
\end{document}

addendum: initiated by conversation with @Bernard (in comments below) see if the following variation of mine original answer is more appropriate for you:

definition of the enumerate style in tables is moved in preamble, where is now available to all lists in table
for the first column is used X column type
for columns with numbers are used S columns defined in the siunitx package
your table is encapsulated in table floating environment.
added are red colors for the second, fifth and six (last) column

@Bernard, ups, there should be \endenumereate. Corrected now. — Zarko, Jul 19 '19 at 13:27
If I may, I think the option wide=0pt is better in tables (spoils less horizontal space)? perhaps also you should create a new tableenum list, or something like that, to make the configuration purely local to lists inside tables? — Bernard, Jul 19 '19 at 13:32
@Bernard, it can be done as you suggest. Now the list settings is walit only for this table. If OP have more similar table, your suggestion is far better (I will wrote addendum with this). I first try to use wide=0pt, but to my opinion in the result the items numbers are than less visible. As table is now, I rather use X column type for the first column, and Scolumns for other except for clumn with headIntervall`. — Zarko, Jul 19 '19 at 13:46
I also used X, but I must say I didn't even think of the S column type. That's an excellent idea! — Bernard, Jul 19 '19 at 14:14

Building upon Bernard's solution and the magicrownumber from here:

\documentclass[8pt,a4paper]{extarticle}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{xcolor}
\usepackage{tabularx}

\makeatletter

\makeatother
\usepackage{makecell}
 \renewcommand{\theadfont}{\color{black}\bfseries}

\usepackage{array,etoolbox}
\preto\tabular{\setcounter{magicrownumbers}{0}}
\newcounter{magicrownumbers}
\newcommand\rownumber{\stepcounter{magicrownumbers}\Roman{magicrownumbers}.}

\end{document}

The counter magicrownumber is automatically reset at the start of a tabular, so in a new tabular environment, teh counter will start from I again. If you wish to reset the counter inside of a tabular environment you can use \setcounter{magicrownumner}{0} as shown in the following example:

\makeatother
\usepackage{makecell}
 \renewcommand{\theadfont}{\color{black}\bfseries}

\usepackage{array,etoolbox}

I have another question... How can I break the enumeration? I have this table two times in my document and in each table should have I,II,III,IV... — brinkmannf, Jul 26 '19 at 13:14
@FelixB.: The counter is reset automatically if you use a new tabular or tabularx environment. If you want to reset the counter within the same environment, you can use \setcounter{magicrownumner}{0}. I have edited my anser to include a MWE that demonstrates both situations. I hope I have answered your question with that. — leandriis, Jul 26 '19 at 14:07

Enumerate list with each item in a new row
