Suppliers' Commodity Codes

Enter a supplier's commodity code to create a cross-reference between your commodity and that of the supplier. You generally enter suppliers' commodity codes only if you are using the Direct Connect feature. After you set up the relationship between your commodity and the supplier's commodity code, the supplier's website can pass the commodity code to the Shopping Cart application so that the system can cross-reference this code and then use the internal commodity as the default value for commodity on the requisition line. The system stores supplier commodity code cross-reference information in the F40530 table.

Note: You must set up a supplier and branch/plant relationship before attaching a supplier's commodity code to a commodity.
