Lesson 3 – Locating a Catalogue Item Scroll down What You Will Learn • Search for a catalogue item by part code number. • Search for a catalogue item by inventory number. Getting Started What is a Winpriser part code number? A Winpriser part code can be one of two things: • UPC – Manufacturer/Allpriser Assigned When the price catalogue you are using in Catalogue Lookup is an Allpriser catalogue, i.e. RedBook, the phrase "part code" refers to the product item’s UPC (Universal Product Code) code. Where available, this is the all numeric UPC code assigned by the manufacturer. If there is no manufacturer assigned UPC code, Allpriser generates a code that begins with three alphabetic characters (i.e. RED00000123). • User Assigned When the price catalogue you are using in Catalogue Lookup is a user-created supplement catalogue, the phrase "part code" refers to the part number that you have assigned to the product item, i.e. SKU or special identifier that means something to you. What is an inventory number? Winpriser allows you to assign a second part number to items in both Allpriser and supplementary catalogues. We call this the item’s inventory number. The inventory number is useful when you want to make use of your own part numbering system and for using Winpriser to control inventory amounts in the QuickBooks accounting system.
