Supplier Number

Enter a user-defined name or number that identifies the address book record of the preferred provider.

You can use this field to enter and locate information. If you enter a value other than the address book number (AN8), such as the long address or tax ID, you must precede it with the special character that is defined in JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Foundation - Address Book constants. When the system locates the record, it returns the address book number into the field.

You must enter a value in the Supplier field on the Item/Branch Plant Information form for each part.
