2. If indicating an override by stock class, then in the Stock Class field, enter up to
10 alpha-numeric characters for the stock class of the parts to be assigned the
selected supplier (rather than the default supplier).This field is disabled when a
value is entered in the Part Number Prefix field.
3. In the Supplier field, enter an override supplier for the parts with the specified
part number prefix or stock class, or use the VTL to select a supplier.
4. Click the Add button to add this override to the data grid to the right. Repeat
