Posted on by JF Robidas

Hi,

In case where we have more then one vendor's source for a ITEM, it's could really helpfull to have vendor substitution same as we have for ITEM substitution. Presently we have to create another ITEM identical but with a different vendor in order to do that. That create duplicate item on the item list and in the inventory.

Hi JF,

On the Item card we have Cross References.

In Cross References you can select Vendor, then the vendor number and finally specific vendor item number.

Let me know if this helps.

Best regards

Hi Jannik, in the field I can enter the other vendor, the vendor account, the item number of this vendor (I guest it's what the field name Cross-Reference No.), the unit of measure, but I don't see the field for the cost at this vendor if it's different. Do we have a way to add this value? Because it's the only filed is missing.

Hi,

The prices are set on the vendor card independent of the cross-references.

Go to a Vendor card, the select Navigate in the ribbon, then Prices - see screenshot.

Hope this helps.

Hi Jannik, thank you for that. I setup a prices for Item then it was listed from another vendor by default, OK. but if I go this ITEM and I look on cross reference I don't this reference and also I still can't see the alternative cost if I take from this one. Even when the purchaser do a purchase order (PO) with this ITEM he don't have anyway to see this alternative supplier option and cost. I don't see any link between both, this is something we have to do with dimension?

Thank you for your good comment.
