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
- 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.
- To add a new variant, in the Manufacturer Variants table
window, click New Row.
- In the Manufacturer Variant field,
specify the name of the new variant.
- Repeat steps 2 and 3 if you need to add more variants for
a manufacturer name.
- 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.
