Purchase Parts Maintenance
Reference Contents > Purchase Parts > Purchase Parts Maintenance
The Purchase parts facility provides links between Parts and Suppliers (or Vendors). Any number of Part-Supplier relationships can exist. i.e. A part can have any number of supplier’s details listed. However only one supplier can be the primary supplier (see Part Maintenance for more details). In addition, you can have multiple records for a supplier/part combination, but each record should have a different supplier part number.
Data can be entered directly to create a Part-Supplier relationship. However, when a part is received into stock that is subject to a purchase order, the data contained in the order is optionally automatically entered into the Part-Supplier relationship. If one does not exist, a record is created. This process is controlled by a System preferences option and an individual control on each Purchase Order line item.
When a Purchase Order is being created the purchasing details from the Part-Supplier relationships are provided as default information for the order. This can be edited at the time. In this way maintenance of supplier information is conveniently maintained.
Maintenance functions for this window can be found in the Purchase Parts Menu.
NOTE: The listing on the maintenance window has one of two modes. It shows either all suppliers for a particular part or all parts for a supplier. The mode is determined by your action that caused the list data to be collected. If you find, next or previous on part, the list will show suppliers for the located part. If you find, next or previous on supplier code or supplier part number, the list will show parts for the located supplier. If you already have a list, selecting a part/supplier line and then using a supplier/part next or previous button will change the mode of the list. For example, if you had a list up of all suppliers for part 12345, selecting supplier ABC and clicking on the next supplier button (up arrow beside the supplier code field) will create a list of all parts for supplier ABC.
