If you need to change a supplier code on a line code for parts in inventory, or change a Line code based on a vendor supplier code, do the following.

1.  Do a complete backup.  At the main menu of Vision, press U to go into Utilities.  Press L to go into the backup system.  Press B to perform a complete backup.  Once that is done, proceed to step 2.

2.  At the main menu of Vision, Press I to go into inventory, or click on the Inventory button on the left side of the screen.

3.  Once in Inventory, press the F6 key.  When the Options Menu comes up, press M to go into Menu.

4.  Once in the menu, press D to Change Supplier Code by Line / or change Prod line by Sup.

5.  Type in the File Access code (PTM-FAC) and click OK

6.  You will then be presented with the following options.

    A.  From here you can choose to change a supplier code by line, or, change a line code by supplier, or change from one supplier code to another (be advised this will change the supplier code on ALL lines in inventory that contain that supplier code).  Finally selection D you can change a line code in inventory, on purchase orders, history, price file and cores as well.  Use this with caution.

7.  To change a supplier by line code, press the letter A.  You will be presented with a screen that looks like this.

    A.  From here you can choose to change the supplier code in either the inventory, or the prices data file.  Press A to change the supplier code in Inventory.

    B.  You will get 2 boxes to use to identify what you want to change.  Put the Line code you want to change the supplier by in the top box, and the supplier code you want to assign TO that line code, in the bottom box.  (We have shown you a 4 digit supplier code for this example)

    C.  Once you are satisfied with your choices, click OK to continue and save the changes.  A white box will appear in the upper right corner of the screen telling you that the updates have been made and you will then be taken back to the F6/Menu screen.  You can press X to leave this area and go back to Inventory.

8.  To change a Line Code by Supplier, do the same steps as above except choose selection B instead of A and you will get a screen like this.

    A.  As before, once you are satisfied with your selections, press OK to continue and update.  Please be warned that if you have several Line Codes with that supplier code, you will change ALL of those lines to be the line code you entered into the second box above.

9.  To change a supplier code in Inventory on every line that it is setup for, do all of the above steps except choose selection C.  Your screen will look like this.

    A.  Please be warned that if you do this ALL references to that supplier code, no matter what the line code is, will be changed to the new supplier code in the second box.  Unless you have done a backup, there is no coming back from this.

10.  Finally, selection D, it is not advised to do this one on your own.  It is best to give our support personnel in the Point of Sale dept a call and let them advise you on this prior to starting any changes.  Because of the number of areas that can and WILL be changed throughout the program (inventory, pricing, history, purchase orders), you will want to have exclusive use of the program.
