Vendor Barcode in Purchase Order

Posted on by Ethan Ong

Hi all,

Is it possible to assign Vendor Barcode directly into Purchase Order line details? Or is it the same Barcode setup in the purchase order lines instead of seperate fields.

I recalled there is a field unless I had mistaken it could be another ERP application.

Thanks.

Hi Ethan,

The Barcodes are related to an item and can be used at several places. What is your exact requirement and the purpose from a functional point of view?

It depends on what you want to use:

Barcodes for items are normally pretty static if you think of the GTIN and EAN setup where a product has received a standardized barcode. That does not vary from vendor to vendor. If this is what you're looking for, then use the Barcode function (Released products > Manage inventory > Warehouse > Barcode/GTIN) on the item.

If the vendors have their own item number (Could be presented as a barcode) and that varies from vendor to vendor you can use the External item number and/or description (Released products > Purchase > Related information > External item description). This item number is filled in to the Line Details > External reference > External field (purchLine.ExternalItemId) when adding the item to a purchase order for a certain vendor that has an external item number related to it.

Hi Andre

Appreciate your reply. I am looking at says, making purchase from vendor and usually clients sell they sell by their bar code.

As such, is there a field allowing us to enter the barcode for vendor in particular. So in the inventory we can also track by vendor barcode even though they are homogenous product?

As far I know Standard PO fields allow to auto-generate or select barcode (internally created).

Hi Fredrik,

Thanks for your reply. For the first paragraph I agree to certain extend. But what if I have homogeneous product? Can we use the same functions to separate by different bar code? Assuming I buy Widget A from Vendor F and the same Widget A from Vendor B, which both have different bar codes.

Secondly I want to maintain the same SKU/item code, for easy identification item but able to differentiate by Barcode to tell me this bulk is from Vendor F and Vendor B. Possible?
