Additional information
Note: These steps create a record in the IM_AliasItem.m4t file.
Note: Creating a Vendor-type Alias Item Number doesn’t create a Vendor Item Code. If you delete a Vendor-type alias that you originally created in Vendor Item Maintenance, the system clears the Vendor Item Code field value. The item vendor record remains in place.
