Update Vendor Product # and Description


Utilities Menu -> Inventory Control -> Update Vendor Product # and Description

This program allows easy access to update the vendor's product #, vendor product description and vendor #, as the Vendor Product # can not be changed in Sales Inventory or Rental Inventory because the vendor product number is tied to Warehouse Receiving records that must also be updated at the same time.
Use this utility to achieve the associated number changes.

Two numbers can be stored for each product:

  1. your firm's product # (12 characters max) which appears on all customer Invoices
  2. the supplier's product # (20 characters max) which is the number the supplier has assigned to the same product.
    This is the Vendor's Product # which used for issuing Purchase Orders, Inventory Receiving and entering Accounts Payable invoices.

The prompts are:

OUR PRODUCT NUMBER
Select a product number or look it up in the Inventory Search window.

OUR DESCRIPTION
Your firm's product description displays.

VENDOR PRODUCT#
The current product stock number used by the vendor will display.
Accept the displayed number, or over-type with the correct vendor product number.

The SmartEquip - Duplicate Products in Same Stock Class warning is triggered when the SmartEquip feature is activated in the Software Integration, if the Vendor Product # has already been assigned to another Sales part in the same Group.
A unique Vendor Product # is required, because the "Group" or "Stock Class" represents a single Vendor in the SmartEquip application.


VENDOR DESCRIPTION
The current vendor's description for this product will display.
Accept the displayed description, or over-type it with a preferred vendor product description.

VENDOR NUMBER
The current Vendor Number for this product is displayed.
Accept this Vendor, or select the new supplier from the Vendor Search window.

Finished?
Click ACCEPT to accept the changes or CANCEL to abort.
Warehouse Receiving Update:
When a change to the vendor product number is accepted, all Warehouse Receiving records for the old vendor product number are automatically changed to the new vendor product number.
This maintains the integrity of the inventory purchasing history.
