I’m new to Acumatica, does anyone know how it handles multiple approved manufacturers/part numbers per inventory item?
Thanks in advance!

Every time you purchase a new item from a vendor, you will have the option to add the vendor part number/alternate ID (how that vendor references the item) to that purchase order. If filled, a new line will be populated in the cross-reference tab of that stock or non-stock item. You can also manually add the “alternate ID” and attach the vendor to that number prior on the item’s screen prior to the purchase order

in PCBA, a vendor will offer the same item from multiple manufacturers. Because the customer may have tested with a specific manufacturer, they provide the required manufacturer part number for the component. For effective planning, material transactions need to include the manufacturer part number This includes purchasing, MRP, BOM, material issues to production, etc.
The problem with the existing cross reference capabilities references a vendor, not a manufacturer, and planning and purchasing are all at only the inventory item id.
