Vendor Line Mapping Setup

Sometimes the Eagle line codes are the same or mostly the same as a vendor’s line codes. A catch-all entry, which is an entry without any line code mapping values, is used in these situations to simplify setup. Eagle simply assumes the line codes between the Eagle and vendor are the same. Exception entries can then be used to override the catch-all entry to handle line code differences or lines not purchased from the vendor. The following procedure explains how to set up both catch-all and exception entries.

Note: Set option 9445 "Warehouse Inquiry Line Mapping’" to Yes if you want Warehouse Inquiry to use vendor line mapping to automatically translate to the vendor’ s line code when part numbers to be queried are being added either automatically from POS and LaserCat, or when manually entered from the Warehouse Inquiry Add function.
