Use this program to create and maintain industry standard part numbers, cross-reference them with FACTS item numbers and optionally assign units of measure.
Source codes must be set up in Standard Source F/M before you can create standard part numbers in this program.
Access this program from either the Inventory Control-->EPU menu or Inventory Control-->File Maintenance menu.
1. Standard Source Code
Enter the code for the standard source of this part number. Part numbers must be created by source code since it is possible for part numbers to be identical from different industry sources.
2. Std Part #
Enter the standard part number as received from the source. Standard part numbers can be up to 50 alphanumeric characters long.
3. FACTS Item #
Enter the FACTS item number. This creates the cross-reference between the industry standard part number and the FACTS item number, stored either in Item F/M or Catalog Item F/M.
4. UM
Enter the UM for the FACTS item number. Units of measure are optional. In some cases, manufacturers or suppliers create separate industry standard part numbers for each product and each unit of measure it is sold in.
5. Description
The system displays the FACTS item description in file for the FACTS item number. You can modify the description, if necessary, to describe the industry standard part number. Descriptions can be up to 75 alphanumeric characters long.
