Re: Customer Item # & your Item # the same ORD150

We are on 8.2.01 -- This version will let you enter them - but when you go to enter an order or EDI - it cannot find the part, like it does not exist. Infor says can not have internal and customer item number be the same - if they are, EIX is skipped and IIM is looked at. They have no work around nor any plans for one.

This does not make any sense to me! On a couple of customers it is critical that the number is the same. Does anyone have a work around?

One of our customers bought us out - we are now making some of their parts in one of our factories - the plant has to deal with their engineering group on issues for these parts - need to speak at least same part number language - and we "sell" parts to them - someday will probably merge systems - for so many reasons we need these to be the same.

Why can't the Customer's item# and our item # be the same in ORD150?
