RMS should provide for different supplier item code

Along with using the ITEM LOOKUP CODE field to store barcodes for scanning products, there should be one or two fields for an alternative lookup code. This would allow retailers to prepare purchase orders using supplier's native information, which is most times a more recognisable format than a barcode number string. It also allows a store to utilise their internal coding system without having to re-memorise and re-learn item codes. Descriptions cannot always narrow down an item to a specific one.

isn't this what the alias table is for?

There needs to be a field for the suppliers item#, and it should be included on POs. I think the fields in the item property page should have a few more options and be more intuitive.

In my custom-softare I use the field SupplierList.ReorderNumber, available from item window property into supplier tab

Supplier Reorder number can be included on the PO. Remember that RMS allows you to set up multiple suppliers for each item, so having a single field for the supplier item number wouldn't work - each supplier may use a different number.
