Match item code to Supplier Code

The Item Code, also referred to in Fred Office Plus as Item Lookup Code (ILC), is an item's unique identifier.

This code may also be referred to as SKU, Product number, or PLU.

The Item Code can be autogenerated when the item is created or matched to a supplier's Reorder Number. The Item Code is made up of alphanumeric digits that become the Barcode when printing shelf tickets or labels.

There are two methods to match the Item Code to a Reorder Number in Fred Office Plus.

  1. Click Inventory, then Items.

  2. Search for and open the item of interest.

  3. On the open stock card, click into the Item Code field.

  4. Using the Summary Pane as reference, type the supplier Reorder # in the Item Code field, then click Save and Close.

You will need to Print a Shelf Ticket or Label for any items where the Item Code has been updated. Refer to Print or Queue a Ticket or Label.
