Title: Vendor Part Number Not Referenced on PO
Post by Teresa_Shirley on 11/29/07 at 13:04:36

When entering PO's, some vendor part numbers show up and some do not. It is random as far as which part numbers show up on the po and which do not. Have there been any default changes in the last updates? Do you have any suggestions regarding this problem? Thank you.

Not that this is going to help you much Teresa, but we have the same problem with manufacturer's numbers on PO's (do not use vendor numbers often). I have not figured out any rhyme or reason, I just keep my eyes open for it and know to add the line to the PO's when it decides to skip it...

It just so happens I have been spending my day off at work trying to figure out the same thing. Some part numbers work fine & others don't. I've tried to comb through the Item Master to see if any difference in how these parts are set up, but I don't notice anything. A particular part number will always work while another part number does not work. Our purchasing department just pointed this out to me, but said they have noticed this since last update (09/27/2007).

Any discoveries, please keep us posted.

Thanks,

Dennis

Dennis,

We have that problem too - I have tried to get it resolved but was unsuccessful... Not that I am glad you are having this problem, I am glad that it is not just me who has experienced this. We began having the problem after the May, 2007 update.

Has your purchasing department noted that they have the same sort of problem with conversion factors? It can be loaded in the item master yet when on PO there is no conversion factor? Just curious...

Good Luck!

Laurie

Don't know if this will help or not, but it is something we have noticed concerning Vendors. Have you verified that the vendor information is the same in both the Main IN-B screen (primary vendor) as well as the Vendor Screen? We have found that when printing out BOM's, if the Vendor is only on the main screen, but not in the Vendor screen, the Vendor information will not print on the BOM. - May have nothing to do with your issue, but it is a quirk.

Laurie,

I am not aware of any Conversion factors not working. I spoke to our purchasing department and they have not noticed any problems in this area.

Mike,

The item master is set up exactly the same (i.e. Item change screen, tab "Sources", vendor is listed blank. I select "Vendor Item No." button at bottom of screen and vendor and vendor's part number here). Again, on some part numbers, the vendor number always prints and on some part numbers, vendor number never prints. I have not noticed this as being a problem on BOM's, but now I am going to investigate as well.

Thanks,

Dennis

Dennis,

Try this - take the Vendor you have assigned on the "Vendor Item No." screen, and make sure it is listed on the "Sources" screen and not left blank.

I believe it is when the reverse is true - namely that the "Sources" screen has an entry, but the "Vendor Item No." is blank, that the vendor information does not print on the BOM.

This is still an issue. It is so random that I have no clue. Just entered 12 po's. Same Vendor and same 2 parts. 4 of the 12 had no vendor number. 3 had one line with vendor numbers and line 2 none. the other 5 have both vendor numbers.

The vendor is assigned to each part and the vendor is set to primary in enter inventory.

I have deleted the primary vendor in those two part numbers and did 6 test po's. All had the correct vendor number.

Put the primary vendor back in and tested more. All printed the vendor numbers :-/

I have no real clue what is up, but this happens on a very regular basis and is driving our purchasing person crazy........
