Navigate to Vendor MFG Product Codes Configuration
Go to Tools (top main menu) > Configure > Vendor MFG Product Codes.
...
Importing Parts with New MFG Codes
Click the Import SIF / XML button. If there are any parts with a new MFG Code, the import window will display two sections:
The first section will show the parts that are not being imported.
The second section will allow you to set the Vendor, Product Type, Parts Category, and UOM.
