    Hi Bulent,

    As i konw Vendor and Manufacturer are two different entities. But finally you will purchase item from Vendor or Manufacturer. So you can enter Manufacturer  as vendor.

    Hi All,

    Please let me know if I am wrong?

    In many industries, items are manufacturer specific, but you can get items from many vendors of course. It is at the item master level rather than vendor item level. I would still think that this is very basic, item should have a place to enter manufacturer and manufacturer part number. We can misuse some fields but I thought people should already figured this out one way or the other.

    Good afternoon.

    I believe what you are looking for is the Item Cross Reference. In a classic client this can be found under the item card itself by going to the general tab and then clicking item-cross references. If you are on and RTC client, then you can find this by departments-manufacturing-planning-items-choose the item in question, then click Related Information-Item and then Cross Reference. Here you can choose to set them up based on vendor, customer or bar code. From there you can then add the cross-reference no. to say the purchase order line information and by entering that cross-reference number, it will then pull up the item number assigned to it.

    If you have any further questions, please let me know. Otherwise if you would like to discuss this in detail, I would recommend entering in a support request and myself or another engineer would be more than happy to assist you on this.

    Thanks

    Jill
