New MFG Codes are codes that have not been setup (populated in your database by importing) in Tools (top main menu) > Configure > Vendor MFG Product Codes. When you are importing into the BOM, after you click the ‘Import SIF / XML’ button, if there are any parts with a new MFG Code, there should be two sections that appear in the import window. These sections will show the parts that are not being imported and below that will be another section to set the Vendor, Product Type, Parts Category, and UOM, then click ‘Apply’ and they should import in. Refer to the instructions and screenshot below for an illustrated step by step guide on setting up new MFG Codes when importing into the BOM.
Setting up New MFG Codes When Importing into the BOM
Find the part(s) that DO NOT have a Vendor Ref or MFG Code and select / highlight them
Select the Vendor for those parts
Set the Product Type for the specific vendor/item
Set the Parts Category
Set the UOM (Unit of Measure)
Click ‘Apply’ button and the part(s) should import into the BOM
