Thanks Mark, I thought that too, but we don’t for this part, which is why I am confused… was hoping someone had decompiled this or traced it out and would be able to let me know the logic behind this… Cause it’s not adding up or making sense.
When you import a PO this list of parts gets appended or updated based on the Customer/Epicor Part numbers on each PO line. It’s possible you wind up with multiple customer part numbers pointing to the same Epicor part number, etc.
The EDI document only contains the customer part number, not both. I’ve been meaning to reference the EDI documentation because I find that weird. There is nothing custxpart table and there is no xpartnum in the contract lines.
If you are only getting the customer part, I believe you NEED an entry in Customer Part Cross Reference. How on earth does Epicor figure out the Epicor part number otherwise. Depending on some other settings it will either stop with an error or do something like create a make direct line on the SO with the customer part # in the part # field.
For sure on that, I’m just saying I don’t get why it says multiple part reference- is it because nothing exists and this is technically a new reference so you can either reference it by nothing or by this new way and there’s two reference’s now- hence the “Multiple Part reference”? In any case, thank you for your time.
