    How does one handle an item that has two different vendor item numbers for the same vendor?

     

    Examples:  

    Cook Medical, Dilator, the Catalog Nbr is G01471, but the Product Nbr is JCD20.0-38-20.

    Boston Scient, Stent, the Catalog Nbr is 38937-1225, but the Product Nbr is H7493893712250.

    From a Purchasing standpoint, the item is ordered via the Catalog Nbr.

    From a Nursing standpoint, the item is searched for via the Product Nbr.

    I've been adding the second number the the Desc3 field, but that only seems to work half the time.

    Has anyone out there found a better way to handle this issue, with both users finding their item?

      We put the "part on the box" in the ManfNbr on IC11 and the reorder Catalog on PO13.3. Wherever you put it. Make sure it's marked as "Used" on IC00.5 and that a IC180 runs after any settings are changed.

      For your examples I would have: Cook Medical, Dilator, PO13.3 G01471, IC11 JCD20.0-38-20.
      Boston Scient, Stent, PO13.3 38937-1225, IC11 H7493893712250

        Our process is the same as Kat's and we also populate Desc3 with the product number.
