Hi,
New to using Cetec, but I noticed that when you add an alternate MFR to the AVL for a part, it does not allow you to set specific attributes for that MFR/supplier. Items such as LT, Lot Size, ea vs lot, unit of measure, etc may be different depending on which MFR/supplier you use. I also see that when you are creating a PQuote/PO and you enter the “PRCPart” it defaults to the preferred vs showing a drop down of who is approved on the AVL, and allowing you to select which one you want to buy.
Thanks for your question! Here are a couple of related cases… maybe look through these and see if they answer some of your questions. Once you become familiar with the cross parts know that there is the ability to add bonus columns on a cross part so you can track the vendor-part specific details you mentioned there.
Let us know if you have any additional questions after reading those.
