General Information

Default Menu Location: Transaction >> Importers/Exporters >> Item Control >> Customer/Vendor Part Import

Screen Name: IMPORTVPART

Function: The Customer/Vendor Parts Import is used to set the alternate vendor or customer part number details for Adjutant item codes on the C/V Part tab. The Customer/Vendor Parts Import is most commonly used to set the vendor associations for items ordered through the QuickBuy application, and to set the default order source for items.

Most of the order calculation criteria has been moved to the item OHF tab, which offers more control over the order calculations used for QuickBuy procurement. The Item DET Import file should be used to update order calculation details for the QuickBuy application.

The import can be used to update existing customer or vendor alternate part numbers when an exact match is found for the Item/VendNo combination. However, if a new customer/vendor part is imported and any of the other details in the import file differ, the import process will create a new record rather than update the existing record. If you are attempting to update/replace the alternate part numbers, do not fill in any of the other non-required fields on the import file.
