How do I search for an item using a related customer item number?

The item keyword search can use item relationship information when searching for a production item if the item relationship information is added to the item keyword index. You can add customer items to the keyword index using the Manage Item Keyword Search Attributes task in the Setup and Maintenance work area. For example, attributes for a manufacturer and manufacture part number can be added to the index.

When the production item is updated by adding a trading partner item type item relationship, you can use the Keyword search field in the Manage Item page to search for the trading partner item number and find the production item, where the item relationship was added.

You can use the trading partner name or the trading partner item number in the keyword search.
