Re: multiple item codes same item

Is this what you are thinking of?

Version 9.1 of XA

In PowerLInk, Open Purchase order history, open view Contract usage, to this view add, item number, vendor cat #, vendor num & Name.

You can now sort and select the way you desire.

Also on the view are quantity ordered and unit price.

Hi Jerry
I am more looking at this on the Item master level than the purchasing. I know if we can fix it at item master level it will also fix purchasing.
Thanks

Jeff

Hi Jeff,

There is the vendor/item file (VENITF) that can have a unique description.
Is that something you can use?

How/where do you need to see it?

Jerry

Subject: [MAPICS-L] multiple item codes same item

Hi List.
I am hoping someone out there can point me in a direction.

We currently have a product for our example lets call it ABC we buy
this product from 3 vendors. In order to track costs and different
package sizes we currently have multiple item codes on the system for it.
We will put the package size and the vendor into the item code. But
really they are the same physical item.

So it would like this:
ABC-55CE
ABC-55GL
ABC-16BBCE
ABC-16BBGL

We are now running into a lot of issues with this. We are looking for
a way to streamline this into a way we can just have ABC in the
computer and then select the package size and vendor instead of making
them part of the item code.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Jeff Williams
