Supplier Stock Code Cross Reference

You use this program to maintain a cross-reference between a SYSPRO stock code and a supplier catalogue number (supplier stock code).

When you select the option: Supplier/stock code interchange system required (Inventory Setup - Options) and you purchase a non-stocked item from a supplier, the system automatically creates an entry for the non-stocked item in the supplier/stock code interchange file. This enables you to print and reprint details of these purchases on purchase order documents.
