Smart Part Numbers and Order Management Integration

When interfacing with back-office fulfillment applications, it is very important that each product can be identified. Smart part numbers are unique keys used to identify each combination of product ID and product attributes. The smart part number becomes the Stock Keeping Unit (SKU) used in the back office application.

You can create smart part numbers manually, or you can interface with an auto-generation application.

The smart part number for each line item appears in the Order screen, in the Line Detail subview associated with the line item.

For more information about smart part numbers, see Siebel Product Administration Guide.
