Hi there.

If I have an item (a 5 Litre Jerrycan) that can be purchased from multiple different vendors, where can I assign each vendors item number? On the item card, I can ender a single 'vendor' in the Replenishment section, and assign a Vendor Item Number, but that is only for one vendor. In my Purchase Price, I have several vendors, each has a different price and sometimes availability is an issue. Each vendor has their own 'number' representing their 5 litre jerrycan and this needs to go on the P/O.

How do we assign it?

Thanks
Chris.

Hey Chris,

In similar situation, you should be able to mention Vendor item No in the "Item Vendor Catalog" window. You can open the same -

Item Card > Related > Vendors

Cost wise you can assign vendor prices to an item to cover the varying costs. In addition to vendor item catalog the other thing you may want is to use the vendors numbering for items on PO’s. If so, take a look at cross references. This data is then available on the purchase line table for entering the item (instead of your internal number) and accessible on the document layout

Ha! Awesome . Thanks for the detailed response and screenshots, made it simple to follow. TBH I hadn't considered that process given the data for the 'vendor' appears on the item card - I 'assumed' (rather badly) that you would add it on the pricing page, kinda feels a little counter intuitive to set the price in one area and the vendor item no. in another area and a third area if you want to have 'multiple' vendors... Snehanshu, thanks.

Thanks Josh. We order by our item number, but I appreciate your comment. I'm going to take a look at the Cross Reference capability. Cheers.
