Adding a manufacturer variant to a manufacturing conversion

A manufacturer variant is a variation of a manufacturer name. The system translates variants to the target manufacturer name specified by the manufacturer conversion record when it displays manufacturer data in Deployed Assets module applications and in reports. You can add manufacturer variants to comply with naming conventions for variants in your environment.

Procedure

  1. In the Manufacturer Conversion application, on the List tab, click the manufacturer conversion record to which you want to add a variant. The application displays the selected manufacturer conversion record on the Manufacturer Conversion tab.
  2. To add a new variant, in the Manufacturer Variants table window, click New Row.
  3. In the Manufacturer Variant field, specify the name of the new variant.
  4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 if you need to add more variants for a manufacturer name.
  5. Click Save Manufacturer to save the changes you made to this manufacturer conversion record.
    Note: When you save your changes, by default, the system identifies the modified manufacturer conversion as reviewed. The Reviewed check box on the Manufacturer Conversion tab is selected, and the Reviewed column in the table on the List tab displays a Y.
