Hi Group, Can anyone advise as to how to Enter a Supplier Reference No. (where it differs to internal Item Code) and does it print on the PO automatically ? Many thanks, Kevin

Hi Kevin,

It is possible to do. We are on Epicor version 10 so using Microsoft SSRS for the reports. SSRS reports can be configured to show output if there is data but also hide output if there is no data e.g. :

As our part 502-019-103-039 has a supplier part number on the supplier price list the Xpart: label and their part 3838852 is displayed. If there was not supplier partnumber then the xpart & supplier pn would not show. It is configurable to always show the label as that helps to show if your reports can accomodate rather than trawling through all pos for a part with a supplier partnumber

Hi Matt,

Many thanks for your help.

As 80% of our Part No’s will have a supplier Part No equivalent – where (what route or form) can these easiest be input in order that they automatically appear on PO’s ?

Thanks again.,

Kevin

I think you can add those in Supplier Price List.

If you’re using MRP and PO Suggestions introducing a Supplier Part Number also introduces a new lead team. I have not had time to test in full if this is another hierarchy in Epicor and what takes precedence but I would recommend testing a couple of parts 1st before doing bulk updates.
