Manufacturers' Items Form
The Manufacturers' Items form lets you associate additional numbers with the items in your inventory. This feature lets you:
-
Use manufacturers' bar codes (or UPC and ISBN codes) for entering transactions in Inventory Control, Order Entry, or Purchase Orders.
Manufacturers' item numbers are automatically translated during data entry to your inventory item numbers.
Note: Manufacturers' item codes also provide a unit of measure, so you can assign different codes for single items, a box, or a pallet.
-
Simplify data entry by creating a set of shortcut item numbers for your most popular items.
You can add as many manufacturers' item numbers as you need. The program has no limit to the numbers associated with each item number.

Before adding manufacturers' items
You can create several different item coding systems for the same inventory items.
-
Decide what bar coding schemes you want to use. UPC codes are specific to manufacturers' items.
-
If creating shortcut aliases, design an easily-remembered, logical coding scheme.
