We buy both direct from Manufacturers and through Distribution from Vendors. When an Item is bought through Distribution it gets a Vendor # and Vendors Part #. I cannot see a way to log a Manufacturer and Manufacturers Part # to that item. Ideally we should be able to log an Item with a Manufacturer, with all the relevant manufacturers item details, and then allocate several Vendors (distributors) for the Item, with their item #s. All within the same GP Item Number.

Over a few years we have several Item #s that are really the same part but are from different vendors. We need to clean this up and I would like to do it correctly. Does anyone have a suggestion?

Thanks. John Cooper

John,

Manufacturer information is added to the Item card via the Item Purchasing Options screen.  There is a cog next to the Item Number filed on the Item Purchasing Options Maintenance window.  This cog will become active when a sales inventory or discontinued item number is entered into the Item Number field.  Clicking on the cog opens the Manufacturer’s Item Number Maintenance window (screenshot attached).

You can enter the Manufacturer, their part number, and description in this window.  Additionally, you can select a primary manufacturer for that part, if one exists.
