Client Query - When is the Supplier Ref Field Recorded Against a Stock Item Used?
Problem/Question
When is the Supplier Ref field recorded against a stock item used? Can I search for it?
Solution
The Supplier Ref field is so your purchase documentation has the reference number used by your supplier when identifying an item. It can be searched for from the filters of the [Stock Item] screen and the free text fields on the both the [Purchase Order] and [Delivery Note] screens. The number will appear on all purchase documentation where the Supplier Ref is recorded against a stock item AND it is being purchased from that supplier.
