Alias Name Feature for Inventory Items (Vendor vs. Customer Naming)

[saadalirana]

In our industry, it’s common for the same inventory item to have different names—our vendors supply it under one name, while we sell it to customers under a different name.

We’re looking for a way in Manager.io to handle this scenario efficiently. Ideally, we would like to:

• Assign an alias or alternate name to an inventory item.
• Use the vendor’s name on Purchase Orders/Purchase Invoices, and the customer-friendly name on Sales Invoices/Quotes, while keeping the item itself consistent in stock records.

Is there a way to implement this using custom fields, item codes, or another workaround within Manager.io? Or is there any plan to introduce an alias or alternate naming feature in the future?

Would appreciate suggestions from others who face a similar challenge.

• Set the Item Code for inventory item to the vendor code used for purchasing.
• Create Inventory Kits of the item with sales alias and qty = 1

Now you can buy using one item code, and sell using another. Create as many alias as you need.
