Associate parts with a manufacturer record. If you have multiple parts for one manufacturer, the system allows you to associate each of them with that manufacturer. For each part that you associate with a manufacturer, enter your part code and the manufacturer’s part code. The system will automatically cross-reference the manufacturer’s part codes with your part codes based on the information you provide.

-
Select Materials > Setup > Manufacturers.
