IC14 Setting up Manufacture Codes & Numbers
unknown
We need to add manufacture numbers to our Lawson system.
Is there a standardized list of mfr 4 digit codes that is commonly used among users?
Do most people use alpha vs. numeric? Curious how to code the manufacturers with multiple divisions like Medtronic.
Would anyone have a list of these codes they would share?
Also, have the same question about if there is a standardiazed list for Purchasing Class and Inventory Class with Manufacture.
Thank you

We used a consultant to set up our Lawson Item master with Mfg Codes, Purchasing and Inventory classes before we went live in 2006. We have followed their pattern when adding new codes. For companies with Multiple divisions we keep the same 4 digit code for the Mfg Code and then have unique 4 digit code for the division.
MEDTRONIC:MEDTRONIC VASC MEDD MEDV
MEDTRONIC:MEDTRONIC XOMED MEDD MEDX
Since companies change names the information/codes may become obsolete but we don't spend time to update the records. You might check with GS1 or your GPO to see if they have a list. You are welcome to look at ours but there is nothing "standard" about it just what we use.

We adopted a similar method. Manuf_Code = Parent, Manuf_Div = division. I know we got the names from GHX's original data cleanse - I'm not sure where we got the abreviations, they are similar to those above. MEDT VASC = Medtronic Vascular MEDT XOME = Medtronic Xomed.
We interface with other systems, so the only "gotcha" was not to use special characters - Inc not Inc. JNJ not J&J etc
And I will share our list - kvila@mhs.net

Haven't heard of a standard for building mfg codes. We do the same as above. I can't say that it's entirely clean, it's been a while since we've done any major cleanup. But here's our list for Medtronic for examples.
MDTR CARD MEDTRONIC INC CARDIO-VAS DIV
MDTR DLPI MEDTRONIC INC DLP INCORPORATED
MDTR DMDI MEDTRONIC INC DANTEC MED INC
MDTR MSNT MEDTRONIC SURG NAVIGATION TECH
MDTR NEUR MEDTRONIC INC NEUROLOGICAL DIV
MDTR PHYS MEDTRONIC INC PHYSIO CONTROL
MDTR SFDK MEDTRONIC INC SOFAMOR-DANEK
MDTR SYN MEDTRONIC SYNECTICS
MDTR XOMD MEDTRONIC XOMED
