Hi Any idea how one can use the Vendor Codes for an item. It is the Item code specific for each vendor. They can be specified for each item (any item) > Subtab Purchasing/Inventory > Sublist Vendors. And they turn up in the item list on the vendor record. (2 Screenshots) That is very usefull so far. However i would like to display it on purchase orders and probably the pdf. It is not a standard column field and i could not find the field yet to source from when making a custom column field (looking in the lists of item and vendor) I was able to find it in a search but one can not display it with a fieldFill search in a coulmn field. However i was wondering if there is a default way of displaying this Vendor Code in a usefull place.

Maybe check out this SA article…I haven’t done this myself but worth a try https://suiteanswers.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/103440/loc/en_US

The standard “item” i believe wills how the vendor name.code if there is one but will show the internal name if it does not have one
I believe we were able to get around that in the past by making sure vendor name/codes are always populated and adding a custom field to source the internal name and displaying both

@PaulJ that article is to Show the Item Body field on the line. I meant the Vendor Part numbers that can be specified for each Vendor. Thanks anyway. @Howard Thank you, It is indeed possible to select the Item in the Item column using the Vendor Part Number in th UI. That explains where it can be used at least. However i was not able to display it on the purchase order or the PDF after selecting it. Did you manage to do that?
@Howard I was not able to display it on the purchase order or the PDF after selecting it. Did you manage to do that?

Yeah we were able to do that
If the item has a Vendor P/N on it you just have to display the “item” and it should automatically display the vendor P/N

@Howard are you sure? i do not mean the Vendor Name/Code field on the body of the item. But the Vendor Part numbers defined in the sublist "Vendor Part Number" for each vendor separately. (multipel part numbers on 1 item) Where did you "display" it? in the sublist, in a field, in a pdf template? All seem to fail for me on a PO of ther correct vendor.
h
Im pretty sure
Ahh, no we didn’t use the vendor part number on the sublist
You’ll probably have to script something to put it into a custom item field in order to do that i think

thanks for clarifying!
