Vic,



I seem to remember something in the supplier price list about
referencing system part numbers to supplier part numbers...may want to
look at that.

Hi all,

I know it's in the system somewhere.....

How do I set up our part numbers to relate to specific vendor(s) part
numbers?

In the aerospace industry, our engineers call out "spec" parts which
really are nothing more than an internal part number. But this "spec"
Part Number can be purchased from 3 different vendors each with their
own Part Number.

Where is this configured?

Thank you in advance.

 In our 'old version 6.10', in Part Maintnance, you select and set-up 'Vendors' , adding as many 'vendor' records as you want ,  per your part. Within that vendor record is the Vendor part Number.

Vic,
Be aware that if the multi supplier sourced part is enabled for Generate PO Suggestions (and/or MRP), the L/T offset for a New PO Suggestion will be based upon the L/T of the Supplier Part (Price List) record checked off as the Primary & no longer the PartPlant L/T - which may be different (as may each 2ndary supplier-part record L/T for which expiration date hasn't past).
Subtle issue but be aware of it as it can confuse Buyers if they are unaware of the behavior (& breed mistrust in system).
If you don't mark ANY supplier-part record as Primary, PartPlant L/T is used.
When no Primary is set, I'm fuzzy on which supplier of multiple in effect will be suggested. (Could be suggestion will be empty as to suggested supplier... Could be one with most recent Effective Date... Could be alphanumerically 1st VendorID or the system assigned VendorNum.)

It doesn't sound like this applies to you but if Part is changed from Purch type to Fab - make sure you don't leave any in effect supplier-part record checked as Primary - or MRP will attempt to generate unfirmed jobs still based upon the Primary Supplier's L/T you've entered. (Your production planner/schedulers will scratch their heads over that issue if it is something that might happen in your biz!)
Also STRONGLY consider if you really gain a benefit from entering each capable suppliers qty price break tiers. For frequently changing unit cost parts (or ones you buy infrequently enough that you do a requote each time), the price break data maintenance can be more trouble than it is worth as PO Entry WON'T allow an on the fly over-ride. (Total line qty will be basis for lookup into appropriate supplier price list & dutifully reset any attempted over-ridden unit price upon a save of PO.

Last: (Fuzzy on this to so check if it might be an issue) - PO Change Suggestions (on our 8.03.405B) seem to use Primary Supplier's L/T when concocting a change plan of existing PO/Ln/Rel's - even if PO is with a 2ndary supplier.(If all in-effect supplier L/Ts are close to each other, few would notice - but if they vary significantly, it can lead to more 'head scratching' & foster distrust of system.

Powerful tool 'for good' when behavior of YOUR VERSION understood & you use only to depth most efficient for your business.

Recipe for confusion (and frustrating doubt - or non-value added work) if you aren't aware of all the impacts on behavior before jumping in.
