Item Vendor (99) table vs Item Reference (5777) for Vendor item no

The Question is In-Complete. But I can answer few points over here which enlighten you if possible, based on the information i hope it is from Business Central.

Set Up Item References (Vendor Item Numbers)

Go to: Items → open the Item Card.

On the Item Card, go to the Navigate tab → References.

Create a new Item Reference line:

Reference Type = Vendor.

Reference No. = vendor’s SKU (their part number).

Vendor No. = pick the vendor from your Vendor list.

Variant Code / Unit of Measure = fill if needed.

Description = vendor’s description (optional).

Alternatively, if the vendor is already created:

Go to: Vendors → open Vendor Card.

Navigate to: Related > Items > Cross References.

Here you can also map Vendor’s item numbers to your internal item.

Using Vendor Item Reference in Purchase Orders

Create a new Purchase Order.
Purchase Orders > New.

Add a Vendor (the one with references set).

Enter the Item No. → BC will suggest the Vendor Item Reference.

The Vendor Item No. field on the line will automatically be populated.

Print Purchase Order with Vendor Item Numbers

Open the Purchase Order.

Go to Print/Send > Print > Purchase Order.

By default, the standard PO report layout already includes Vendor Item No. on the lines.

If it does not appear → customize the PO Report Layout:

Report Layout Selection.

Pick Purchase Order (Report 1305).

Use Custom Layouts → edit in Word/Excel to include Vendor Item No. field from the dataset.

Requisition Worksheets use vendor-specific lead time first, and if blank, they fall back to item-level lead time (like “Table 99” concept in F&O).
