Hi Deepak,

There are some MNCs and Organisation which manufactures high valued products which insists their customers to send their POs with their Item Code mentioned in the marketing documents sent to them since it'll be easy for them to process fast and efficiently. Same way is the SO but the other way around.

The Business Partner Catalog Numbers section (accessible from Inventory > Item Management > Business Partner Catalog Numbers) is used to map trading partners’ item numbers (Buyer Part Number) to SAP Business One item codes. Below screenshot describes how to configure BP Catlog no. in SAP Business One.

Map Business Partners to Trading partner (Vendor) item numbers as shown above. B1 Item Code (1) maps to a specific Trading Partner Item Code (3) for the identified 'SPS Commerce 1' BP Code (2)

Hope this helps. Let me know if you need further explanation.

Hi,

Item Code is the coding for the Item which is used for the items by the company for the business.

BP Catalog Number: This is item number from the Vendor/Customer(how they identify the item) in parallel to Item Codes in the company. This means that you can use the item number of the vendor in the purchase order, and the item number of the customer in the sales order.

Hi,

It is the item code your supplier of customer uses for an item

eg.

You sell a printer with itemcode PRT01 and your customer uses for the same printer the item code PRINTER01.
