Why Is My Purchase Order Printing a Different Item Code Than Entered?
In some cases, businesses use different part numbers for their inventory than the part numbers used by their vendors. CustomBooks™ allows you to use your own part number when entering a Purchase Order while printing the vendor's part number on the PO sent to them. This makes it easier for vendors to process and fulfill the order.
How It Works
CustomBooks™ leverages the Vendor tab on the item card to manage vendor-specific details:
- Preferred Vendor: The vendor most commonly used for the item (helpful for dropship POs).
- Vendor Code: The vendor's part number, which will be printed on the Purchase Order.
- Vendor Description: The description used by the vendor for the item.
When a vendor code is entered in the Vendor Code field, it will print on the Purchase Order. If the field is left blank, the system will default to printing your item code.
Note: If your part numbers match the vendor's part numbers, you can leave the Vendor Code field blank.
By managing these details on the item card, CustomBooks™ ensures flexibility and accuracy in your Purchase Orders.
