General search bars currently search the ILC or description of item, I propose allowing all of the supplier part codes, as well as the barcode to be fields that the general search bar pulls from when providing results. For example, the attached photos show a SRAM GX 10s Rear Derailleur, currently I can only search for that item with whatever the ILC is, regardless of what the primary supplier is. If I am creating a PO based on a different supplier and I want to add that item in, the search bar will not provide me with the item if I put in that supplier's part code for the item.
A primary supplier may be based on a variety of factors, but sometimes reaching free freight on a supplier means adding items outside of what you'd typically order. It is a rarity that shops are exclusively ordering a part from one supplier outside of simple availability. We need to be able to add the prerequisite supplier part number to search bars in POs, especially if performing POs retroactively. Otherwise, having to go source the SPC separately bottlenecks this process significantly.
