Hello Anyone,

How can we associate the vendor item number as a reference onto our internal item number we use for inventory management and sales?

Please let me know how you will set these up in the item master.

Thank you,

Johnny Smith

Johnny,

Wasn’t this made capable when Product Number was a new concept in AX 2012?  Couldn’t Item Number be your legal entity released product and Product number be Vendor?

Hi Johnny,

You can relate external item information on the Released Product by going to the Purchase tab on the action ribbon, and under the “Related information” heading there is an option to input “External item description.”  That brings up a form where you can select specific vendors to apply an external item number, description, and external item text to.

When you create a PO for that vendor/item combination and submit a confirmation, the “External item number” appears as a callout below the line of the confirmation, and the “External item text” becomes the line description.  Hope this helps!

Hi Johnny,

From Released Products:

1. S elect the product
2. in the action tab:  Sell > Related Information > External Item Description
3. The External Item Descriptions form opens
4. You define an ABC code – optional
5. Account Code = Table or Group 
6. Customer Relation = customer number if you selected Table – most common pattern
7. External Item Number = Whatever you want the external item number you want i.e. vendor’s item number or anything else

You will probably need some customization to show the external item number on whatever reports you want it to appear.

Thanks,

Barclay
