Purpose
This procedure is used to add or maintain the details of your customer’s product codes and to manage access to products and colours in the customer’s B2B e-Commerce portal.
Customer Product Codes are a useful cross reference between your product codes and your customer’s product codes. When invoices are generated, the customer’s product code corresponding to your delivered product is included on the invoice details so your customer can easily update their own system with a receipt.
Customer product codes may also be used to search your own product database. This allows you to find your product when the customer supplies their own familiar code, or it allows your customer to find the product they need with their own code via your e-Commerce portal.
The customer’s product list can also be used to restrict the colours available to a e-Commerce portal customer. If you offer many colours of a particular product, but your customer is only interested in a restricted range of colours, the details stored here could be used to limit the options shown in the B2B portal.
