From the same supplier - Change the Manufacturer product number (MPN) in the Purchase order item (SPOITEM) application

In situations where a supplier offers the same product from two different manufacturers, the user can change which product is ordered, based on the Manufacturer part number (MPN).

The default Manufacturer product name (MPN) will be selected, but this can be changed.

The change is done from the Purchase order item (SPOITEM) application and requires that a Purchase order (SPO) is created.

  1. To open the Purchase orders (SPO) application, from the RamBase menu, select Procurement and then Purchasing and finally Purchase orders.

  2. Select or search for the Purchase order (SPO) with the Purchase order item (SPOITEM) which needs to be changed.

  3. Once selected, from the Items tab, click and press ENTER on the item, or click the Right arrow icon to open the Purchase order item (SPOITEM) application.

  4. To change the Manufacturers product name (MPN), find the Product area and click the Manufacturers product name (MPN) drop-down field.

  5. Select the Manufacturers product name (MPN) and if there is a price update, verify or decline in the following popup.
