Field equivalent in Acumatica for imported information from external system

C
Jr Varsity II

Hi everyone,

 

We currently have an external system that has a field containing commodity information for inventory items. This needs to be imported into Acumatica, this is also going to be information regarding inventory/stock for our company.

Currently we are trying to implement this in the CROSS-REFERENCE tab as an "Alternate ID" using the "Global" Type. However, this might not be the correct implementation as this could be used in the future for something else that is an industry as best practice.

Our main question is, is there a better location/way to store this value in Acumatica? There has been a previous ticket that about commodity type but cannot see it in Stock Items, where should we be able to see it?

 

Thanks a lot for anyone that can help me with this.

From the 24R1 demo system, there are two fields that look to be available out of the box on the “Packaging” tab of the Stock items screen. But the documentation doesn’t reference these items at all and instead talks about a Tariff Code field.  The documentation https://help.acumatica.com/(W(7))/Help?ScreenId=ShowWiki&pageid=77786a70-1f1e-4d63-ad98-96f98e4fcb0e indicates that these fields are available with the Shipping Carrier integration module turned on and is what I found with my testing.

The screenshots below are from the 24R1 sales demo data set.

Thank you for this! We have tried enabling the feature and was able to see it.
