Customer Tab

This screen allows users to connect the customer part number and revision with the internal part number and revision.  Entry of a Customer Part Number creates a Consigned Inventory Record that does several very important functions:

  • Serves as the place for selection of each Approved Manufacturers (Customer’s Approved Vendor List) from the list of all Manufacturer Part Numbers for that particular generic part
  • Provides a way to cross reference Customer Part Numbers to Internal Part Numbers
  • Allows generation of Bills of Material with Customer Part Numbers
  • Sets up a Consigned Inventory Warehouse(s) to allow receipt, issue and tracking of this Customer part

ManEx does NOT allow user to link same customer with multiple customer part numbers to the same internal part number. Our structure is based tightly on the internal part number. We link to customer part numbers when needed for showing customer part numbers or for MRP AVL limitations. If we allowed more than one customer part number for the same customer to the same internal part number, we would NOT be able to process MRP AVL selection, nor reports that currently show customer part numbers.  For further detail see Article #2489.
