Customer Item Numbers

In some cases, your customers may not be familiar with the item numbers used in your ERP system, which can hinder their ability to find products in the Sana webstore. They prefer to search using their own item numbers for convenience. For example, in automotive manufacturing plant every part has a specific number. The workers rely on these numbers to find and use the right parts quickly.

You can address this challenge by linking your item numbers in your ERP system to your customers’ or vendors’ item numbers. Also, the Customer item numbers feature should be enabled in Sana Admin. This capability enhances user experience by allowing customers to easily search and find products in the Sana webstore using familiar item numbers, streamlining their purchasing process and improving overall satisfaction.

The customer item numbers are shown wherever there are item numbers in the webstore, for example, on the product details pages, product list pages, in the shopping cart, checkout, order details, etc.
