How to replace the Item ID the Primary Vendor SKU
Use Vendor Swap to change the Item ID to the Primary Vendor's Part Number
If your data uses an Item ID different from the Primary Vendor SKU, this utility will correct the issue
Example:
Instance of the Item ID being the SKU's UPC
Typically, the UPC is not the desired value to have within the Item ID field of the SKU.
Important Note: The data presented is from a data conversion from another software. The current Item ID will need to remain until the sales history is imported into the system.
After the sales history is imported, the process of Item ID conversion may proceed.
The desired value is present within a vendor relationship
The desired value for the Item ID is present within one of the listed vendors found within the Lookup By screen. In this example, the desire is to have the "250536" replace the current Item Id of "037000771319"
The selected Vendor is not required to be the current primary Vendor when using this utility to swap the current Item ID containing a UPC with that of the selected Vendor's "Ref. Number".
To replace the current Item ID with the Current Vendor's Part number thus replacing the UPC with Vendor's Part Number, complete the Vendor Swap Form with the following:
In the "Change Current Vendor" field, the vendor True Value is selected.
In the "To New Vendor" field, the vendor True Value is also selected.
The "Set Item ID" field is checked.
Notice that the screen prompts change since both vendor fields are the same.
With the same vendor selected in both vendor fields and the "Set Item ID to Vendor Part No." checked, select the Swap button.
Filtering of the effect of the Vendor Swap activity can be controlled is the "For Selected Item" fields
When the same vendor is entered into both vendor fields the prompting changes
The menu prompts are now limited to "Set Item ID to Vendor Part No.
In this case, do check the option "Set Item ID to Vendor Part No." to replace the current Item Id with the indicated Vendor's Ref. No..
