Product Extended Product Cross Reference Setup - Vendor field descriptions

Fields are presented in alphabetical order.

Buy Unit

Specify the unit you use to purchase this product from the vendor. You may order this product by the coil but sell by the foot. After you specify a valid buying unit, the buying unit is displayed. Unit conversions are set up in SA Setup Table Code Value Setup.

The buying unit will update the corresponding field in during Purchase Order Entry and PO RRAR.

Last Change

This represents the last date the Price field was updated. When you create the cross reference record, the current date is the default value, but you can override it.

The Last Change date is updated when the Price is updated during Purchase Receipt of Inventory Entry and Vendor Invoice Center Entry if this vendor is not the same as the ARP vendor in Product Warehouse Product Setup. If the alternate vendor used on a PO is the same as the product's ARP vendor, the value in this field is used and is not changed.

If you leave this field blank when you create the cross reference record, it is updated automatically as described above.

Lead Time

Specify the vendor's lead time for this product. This value can be based on the vendor's predictions or on your average lead time if you regularly stock this product.

Our Product

Specify the product number currently set up in Product Setup and sold by the vendor specified in the Vendor field.

Price

Specify the base price for this vendor's product. This is typically the standard retail price.

If you leave this field blank, it is updated during Purchase Receipt of Inventory Entry and Vendor Invoice Center Entry if this vendor is not the same as the ARP vendor in Product Warehouse Product Setup. If the alternate vendor used on a PO is the same as the product's ARP vendor, the value in this field is used and is not changed.

Standard Pack

The standard pack is the quantity of the product normally packed by the supplier in a box, carton, bundle, or on a roll, reel, or pallet. When you purchase quantities for inventory, they should always be rounded-off to the nearest standard package. The Purchase Entry Recommended Replenishment Report always rounds to the nearest standard pack.

The standard pack may or may not be the same as the buying unit. Some suppliers add a charge to supply non-standard quantities.
