The entered Mfr. Part # and Mfr. # is a valid combination.
If the Mfr. # field is blank and the Mfr. Part # entered is same for more than one internal Part #, the system considers the Supplier # entered as Mfr. # to retrieve the internal Part #. The user must enter the Mfr. #, if Supplier # is not available or for the combination of Mfr. Part # and Supplier # internal Part # cannot be retrieved.
If a value exists in the Part #, Mfr. Part # and Mfr. # fields, the system ensures that the combination of Mfr. Part # and Mfr. # corresponds to the Part #.
