Use item references

  • Άρθρο

If you buy or sell items that you and your vendor or customer use different terms for, then you can set up a reference between your terms for the items and the terms that the customer or vendor of that item uses. This way, the vendor's or customer's item description, unit of measure, or variant code is automatically inserted on the relevant documents when you fill in the Item Reference No. field.

To set up an item reference

  1. Choose the icon, enter Items, and then choose the related link.

  2. Open the card for an item for which you want to create a reference.

  3. Choose the Item References action.

    If you can't find the Item References action, choose to view more options, and then find it under Related > Item.

  4. On a new line on the Item Reference Entries page, fill in the fields as necessary. Hover over a field to read a short description..

The following procedure describes how you specify the item reference on a purchase order. Similar steps apply to sales documents and other purchase documents.

To enter a vendor's item description on a document

  1. Choose the icon, enter Purchase Orders, and then choose the related link.
  2. Create a purchase order for the vendor that you set up an item reference for in the previous procedure.
  3. Create a purchase line for the item that you set up an item reference for in the previous procedure.
  4. In the item reference No. field, select the relevant item reference, and then choose the OK button.

The Description field on the line is overwritten with the vendor's item description, as set up on the item reference entry. If the item reference includes a variant code or a unit of measure, these values are also copied to the document.
