The desired value is present within a vendor relationship

2. 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
