Part Numbers Blank Title 66561

Bob is correct. The Supplier Price List has the supplier information as
well as the suppliers part number. You also have the pricing and
purchase methods for the part (EA, /100, etc.). Whenever a new supplier
price list or catalog is published, the price list can be updated using
a spreadsheet and pasted into the application. In the comments on each
supplier, you can also specify the OEM and OEM part number . The
comments show on the PO, the shop order and any BOM listing. This allows
you to assign an internal part number and use/reference supplier part
numbers.



Nick, Now when engineering a part, you can have an engineering method
for the base method and specifying one manufacturer. Then create an
alternate method using the base method and swapping out manufacturers in
the alternate. Example is Part A and then an alternate method for part A
is the JBI or KEL. Both of which, can also have different methods as
well as materials.

example all parts that we purchase for Joe Bloggs Inc would start
with "JBI", and then some kind of part number such as a generic
identifier i.e. "JBI:0805+10K". This means that we can load all
customer approved manufacturers into our supplier price list and have
these choices only affect the parts we buy for Joe Bloggs Inc. Another
customer might have entirely difference choices, and these are
differentiated by having a separate part in the MPF starting with a
different customer identifier such as "KEL:0805+10K".

Of course, some customers aren't so fussy, so we also have part numbers
which are generic and are not scoped to a customer at all. We can use
these anywhere where there is no specific requirement for a
manufacturer.

We have found this to be a very complex area, and are still arguing
about the formats of part numbers... ;o)

You can associate multiple vendors' p/n's to your p/n's via vendor-part
price lists. (Typically updated from an RFQ response.)

The info then is readily accessible to Buyers via the Purchasing
Advisor.

Hello all;

We are on the process of going live and now we are entering the parts

into the system. For most of the parts we use; have different

manufacture numbers. For example we should resistors to make printed

circuit boards. And there are different manufacturers which make the

same resistor but different numbers. In order our purchasing

department to buy those they have to have manufacture numbers in the

system and/or on report. In Part Maintenance application we couldn't

figure out how to do that.

Does anyone know how we can fix that problem?

Thanks in advance.

I believe what you want to do is to add "Approved Vendors" to the part,
and under the approved vendor, you should have the option of specifying
the correct part-number needed for ordering.

We have a similar problem in that, as a Contract Electronic
Manufacturer, we have to manage different customers all with different
preferences for component manufacturer. Fitting a manufacturer which
hasn't been specified is a sure fire way of losing the customer even if
the device is technically the same. This is particularly so for IC's
where the circuit can stop working when one manufacturer is replaced
with another ( usually down to the design being right on the edge of
tolerance for the designed-in manufacturer ).

You therefore need to specify which manufacturer you require for any
given customer or component on a BOM. The only way we have found to do
this is to have different part numbers in the MPF for different
manufacturers of part. In fact in our old system we had a manufacturers
code such as "MOT" or "PHL" etc. on the end of our internal part
numbers. The vendor information that you associate with each part in
the MPF would only be for that specific manufacturer. This proved to be
very solid, and it worked very well.

Now we are moving to Vantage, we are adopting a slightly different
strategy. We are now choosing to "scope" part numbers to customers. For
example all parts that we purchase for Joe Bloggs Inc would start
with "JBI", and then some kind of part number such as a generic
identifier i.e. "JBI:0805+10K". This means that we can load all
customer approved manufacturers into our supplier price list and have

Of course, some customers aren't so fussy, so we also have part numbers
which are generic and are not scoped to a customer at all. We can use
these anywhere where there is no specific requirement for a
manufacturer.

We have found this to be a very complex area, and are still arguing

I hope this helps...
