Equivalent Items from the same Vendor

Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Is there a way to have multiple equivalent items under the same GP Item # for the same vendor? We can do this for multiple vendors, but I need to have several items under the same GP Item from the same vendor

    Yes that's right. I have noted that it works for customer item (because SOP transaction can accept both item number and customer item at the same time).

    I think Leslie pointed at the right direction. However, i would like you and Miss Leslie to evaluate if a multiple unit of measurement approach can also work for you.

    Assuming you are using Unit of measurement schedule for 'item a' in a simple way, you can assign different u of m representing item b.

    Yes, I can maintain multiple Vendors for the same Item # in the "Item Vendors Maintenance" Card, but this does not allow for multiple Vendor Item#'s for the same Vendor.

    "I can do this if the vendor changed, but can't find a way with the same vendor."

    Are you talking about vendor item approach? Can you confirm?

    Hi,

    Could you do it using Lots? Maybe the vendor could make the lot number the substitute item number and then receive items into the different lots. Upon sale, be sure to set your system to NOT automatically assign the lot number to the item.

    Kind regards,

    Leslie

    Hi Zohaib

    I have a Vendor that supplies 2 items (Item a & Item b). I only purchase item b when item a is not available. I do not want to create an item # for item b. I want the system to recognize item b as the equivalent (substitute) of item a. I can do this if the vendor changed, but can't find a way with the same vendor.
