Multiple Part Numbers For One Part

Just wondering if there is anyway for me to enter multiple part numbers for one part, which will automatically convert into one part number when saving/printing a job.

 

Reason I ask is because we use different part numbers to some of our suppliers, who still use their old suppliers part number.

 

For example, we use part number Ab, and our customer uses part number Xy. Is there a way for Xy to automatically convert into Ab without having to do it manually before entering it into a job? While still being to enter part Ab into a job and it stil coming out as Ab also.

 

We range 7000+ line items, so it is difficuilt to have to convert every time, especially with our actual examples being much more complex!

 

Thanks

    Hi BCharlesworth,

     

    Welcome to the Community forum!

     

    Thank you for your post and patience in waiting for a response.

     

    In the current system of MYOB Business and AccountRight, each item is associated with a unique item number. This means that when you select an item for an invoice or purchase, you are entering the unique item number into the system, not another item number from a list associated with that item. However, your suggestion of having multiple part numbers for one part, which can automatically convert into one part number when saving or printing a job, is an interesting idea. While this feature is not currently available, we highly recommend posting this idea on our Product ideas board. Our developers regularly review these suggestions for potential inclusion in future updates.

     

    Please feel free to start a new post if you require further assistance.

     

    Cheers,
