When you add a product to the product file, the system assigns it an internal part number. The system uses this number to identify the product for all system operations. Your customers and vendors may use their own part numbers for the products they order from you. If you assign these part numbers to your products, the customer can then use them to request the products they need, and you can use the vendor's part numbers when you order product from them, as a means to speed the order entry process.
You can also enter the customer or vendor's sell price and comments to further personalize their part numbers. You can also generate auto-replenish numbers for entering orders by way of Remote Data Collection (RDC) from customer/vendor-specific part numbers.
Each customer can create bar code labels with their own customer part number for each product that they order from you. You set up the parameters for printing custom labels, then print custom retail price labels.
Complete the following tasks to set up your customers and vendors to use their part numbers:
Display the Customer or Vendor Specific Part Numbers Window.
Enter customer or vendor specific part numbers for a customer or vendor.
Limit the list of customer or vendor specific part numbers to specific criteria.
Create customer or vendor specific part numbers from existing part numbers.
Create a template for customer vendor specific part numbers.
Set up criteria for creating auto replenish numbers for RDC.
