Allow Vendor Name to be an import field in DEF files

1 votes

Interchangeable import field by Vendor Name or Vendor ID. Many clients have expressed while they don't know the Vendor ID off the top of their head, it could be easier to input the Vendor Name instead.

Hi Siniyaa,

You could advise that the customer to export a list of Vendor IDs and Vendor Names so they could make updates to the file prior to importing it with the .def file. The Vendor ID is the unique field in MIP so it must be used when updating information for the vendor. Vendor names can be duplicated, where Vendor ID cannot.

Thank you,
Janine
