Overview

Large customers may want to use their own stock numbers when ordering from you. You use the I/C Customer Details screen to specify the stock numbers these customers use to order your inventory items. Each customer item number has a unit of measure, which can reduce confusion during order entry.

If you supply goods to several large outlets, several customer item numbers can be associated with a single inventory item. Since customer item numbers are associated with a specific customer, different customers can use the same number for different inventory items.

Note:

Before you can add customer item numbers, you must:

  • Add the items in Inventory Control.
  • Add the customers in Accounts Receivable.
