Description: These instructions will show you how to change products to a different supplier in K3S. If you create a sub supplier you will need to use the change product source function to route the products to the new sub supplier. 2. Choose 9. Change product source and press Enter. 3. You are now on the K3S_3450 screen. Press F6=Add and the K3S_9540 Select Table Code window will pop up like the one pictured below.  4. Use 1=Select to pick the appropriate option from the window and press Enter. If you only need to change the source for a few products, choose type P (Product record type). If you need to change the source for a supplier’s entire line of products, choose type S (Supplier record type). Example: See in the window above that we have chosen type P. 5. You are now on the K3S_3450 screen in Add mode as shown below. You now need to enter the location, old (User) supplier number, new supplier number, and the number of the product that is changing suppliers. As an example, the Location is 01 for Canton, MS. The old supplier was #1090 Bryan Foods. The new supplier is #6642 Ray Packing Co. We are changing the source for product #951518.  6. After typing the information into the appropriate fields, press Enter and you will receive a transaction message. Look at the sample screen below and see that the names of the old supplier (BRYAN FOODS), new supplier (Ray Packing Co.), and product (BRY PEG HAM & CHEESE) are now appearing on the screen. There is also a transaction message saying ‘951518 added at 9:42:42’ which confirms that this product has switched suppliers.  7. Once you have received the transaction message, you can continue to change the source for other products. To do this, type a different product number over the existing product number and press Enter. You will then receive a new transaction message with this product’s number in it. 8. Once you have changed the source for all of the appropriate products, press F12=Previous and you will be back to the K3S_3450 screen as shown below. This screen contains transaction records for all products that have switched suppliers. Look at the sample screen below and you will see that there are two records for products changing from the old supplier (1090) to a different supplier (6642).  9. You have now completed the steps for changing the source of several products. Note that the system requires a night job to run before the products will appear under their new source. Thus, you must wait until the next working day to see the products under their new supplier. |
