We stock all kinds of hardware for some of our installation work like bolts, washers, and nuts.  While our company standard is to utilize manufacturer specific part numbers, this doesn't make as much sense for truly generic hardware.  I might order hardware from Fastenal today, McMaster-Carr tomorrow, and the field guys might be going to Joe's hardware store with their credit cards too.  I don't want multiple stock bins in my warehouse depending on where a bolt was purchased when it is the same thing, so we do a single part with multiple vendor_AliasItemNumbers.  

My challenge becomes the folks handling receipt of goods don't necessarily know what all of this is.  So when a vendor pack list arrives with a part number of 92865A714, but the p/n in SAGE is HS1/2-30x1.25-Z-G5, the receiving person doesn't know the parts match.  Is there a way to make the vendor alias item code show up next to the SAGE ID in the receipt of goods module?

Thank you,
