We sometimes have a scenario where we want to market a product differently across industries.
With that, we would like the ordering of that product to have a different part number depending on the industry BUT have the inventory and all other back office functions to use the same part number.
For example, we stock part ABC but want to sell it as either ABC, XYZ, or EFG but if someone orders XYZ, ABC is what will actually pull from inventory.
It feels a bit like Customer Cross Reference except it would not be customer specific.
I don’t think this functionality exists in Epicor but I figured I’d asked just in case I’m missing something.
If not, is anyone dealing with this? How are you handling it?

Instead of different part numbers why don’t you use Sales Category on the Sales Order?
There is also an Industry Class that you can set up by Customer and Customer Ship To.
You can create reports to slice and dice the info.

I haven’t tested this but do you know if the alternate part number is selected, will the order line part number change to the alternate? I suspect it would. If yes, then this would not meet our requirement because we want to maintain the original part number and have it print on all paperwork.
Someone had mentioned Sales Kitting. This might get us close.

Can't you use Part Alternates and make your main Part an Alternate to all the other parts... then make ti default
So they'll order part XXX and it willautomaticaly offer the alternative? That's as close as you are gonna get I think without customization.

The purpose is not to report on the markets separately but to be able to brand the product different across markets.
So a customer orders part XYZ and all paperwork says they ordered XYZ but internally ABC is picked and shipped.

Would Internal Part Cross Reference work?
Bethany Rye
Epicor Business Analyst

I created an internal cross reference and when I entered a sales order line for this cross reference part number, it changed the part number to the inventoried part.
We need it to maintain the cross reference part number so all paperwork shows the cross reference part number and not the inventoried part number.
