Manufacturer (MFG), Gore-Tex currently has two vendor item numbers, 7M08A with a UOM of box 12 and 7M08B with a UOM of box 36. We currently have these items set up at two different MMIS number in your system, but Gore-Tex has informed us that both of these vendor item numbers true MFG number is 7M08. They are the same item, but one is a box of 12 and the other is a box of 36.
We would like our system to be as accurate as possible and for the manufacturer number to be set as 7M08 for both vendor item numbers, but this will cause a problem in PO13 as Lawson does not allow for two PO13 records to have the same MFG information for the same vendor. Our current set up has also caused problems with adding GTIN’s for the each UOM for both items as Lawson does not allow the same GTIN to be entered more than once if it is active. We would like our end user to have access to order both vendor item numbers.
How has your facility handled this type of situation where a MFG has one MFG number for multiple vendor item numbers? (Please see pictures below for our current IC11 and Po13 set up).
