Add Vendor Style Number Field During Product Creation

Feature Overview

The Vendor Style Number field allows you to input and store the vendor’s version of the SKU. This information can be accessed in All-in-One Reports and Custom Reports, making it easier to match internal SKUs with vendor references.

How to Enable

1. Log in to your SalesVu account.

2. Go to Manage Inventory.

3. Click the drop-down arrow at the top right corner of the screen and select Settings.

4. In the Settings popup window, toggle the following options to ON:

   • Show Vendor Style Number column

   • Update Vendor Style Number from product to its merge modifier items and vice-versa. When this setting is enabled, the Vendor Style Number automatically syncs between the main product and its merged modifier items. 

     For example, if you have a product called T-Shirt and you later create modifiers for it such as Small and Large, then merge them with the product, you will see separate products for each size in your inventory tracking. With this setting on, the Vendor Style Number will automatically apply to both the main product and its merged modifier items. Similarly, if you unmerge the modifiers and revert to a single product, the Vendor Style Number will update automatically on the main product as well.

5. Click Save to apply the changes.

Once enabled, the Vendor Style Number column will be displayed in the inventory view.
