You need to use the Approved Manufacturer Maintenance program to add the details of your manufacturers before using this program.
-
Once you have saved the manufacturer/part number combination, neither the manufacturer nor the part number can be changed. This is because the manufacturer and part number are part of the key for the table/file and thus cannot be changed. To change it, you need to remove the item and then re-enter it with the correct manufacturer and part number.
