Supplier Short Name

Provides an alternate search key to access supplier data. The system enables you to assign the same supplier short name to multiple suppliers, and it makes the short name unique by adding a numeric value to the end. For example, if you enter the supplier short name SMITH, when you save, the system makes the short name SMITH-001. If you ever have another supplier for whom you want to use SMITH as the short name, the system enters SMITH-002, and so on. The supplier short name appears on various supplier maintenance pages.
