odd purchase order error

When adding an item to a PO (via "Quickscan" entry of a supplier's part # for it), Manager often warns that the supplier doesn't carry that item. I can easily override the warning and add the item.

Why would Manager think this supplier doesn't have the item? It is correctly identifying WHICH item I want via the supplier part # (and a quick check on the item's properties verifies the part number is there).

FYI, this is a supplier with only one entry in my suppler database (not one with multiple locations. Also, the supplier IS identified on the Header of the PO using the lookup function.

Thanks for any help in solving this mystery.

I think I figured this one out on my own, but it brings up another question.

Our RMS vendor has an add-in to speed importing of item info from an industry database. That database has many errors and outdate information. Among the outdated info is an older name of a supplier that restructured several years ago. The utility faithfully imported the bad info and added the supplier to my system (it probably asked me at some point, but I didn't think much of it), and added the part number to the old supplier name.

There are 130 items listed as supplied by the old supplier name.

Is there a quick way to copy reorder numbers from the old supplier name to the new one (or any other workaround to avoid the "this supplier doesn't carry the item) warning?

Thanks.
