Locating Item Sources

Access the Item/Branch Plant Info. form.

You can locate the country in which an item originates and the preferred supplier for an item. Locating these sources enables you to distinguish items based on a country or supplier. You specify this information when you enter branch/plant information for an item.

Supplier Number

Enter a user-defined name or number that identifies an address book record. You can use this number to locate and enter information about the address book record. 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 the Address Book constants. When the system locates the record, it returns the address book number to the field.

For example, if address book number 4100 (Total Solutions) has a long address TOTAL and an * distinguishes it from other entries (as defined in the Address Book constants), you could type *TOTAL into the field, and the system would return 4100.

Country of Origin

Enter a code from UDC table (00/CN) that identifies the country in which an item originates. This information is useful to organizations that must periodically separate their inventory by source. You can specify your home country as the default value in UDC table (00/CN).
