It is recommended to re-print the Duplicate PDE report at this step of the process. Refer to Remove Duplicate PDEs: Overview for instructions. 

1. Review the re-printed Duplicate PDE report for any products displaying a single digit, double digit or barcode in place of a PDE. If there are none, then this step can be skipped.

Products with single digit, double digits as PDE’s are usually caused when entering an invoice into Order Maintenance, where your Minfos database does not have that supplier’s PDE for that product stored and the user has entered the invoice quantity instead of the PDE. 

 2. From Stock Manager, click Product Maintenance.

The Product Maintenance window is displayed.

3. Click Find.

The Search window is displayed.

4. Enter the product number for one of the duplicated products with an incorrect PDE and then click Okay.

Both products with the duplicated single, double digit or barcode PDE need to be corrected.

5. Click Suppliers.

The Supplier Product Maintenance window is displayed.

6. Highlight the supplier with the incorrect PDE and then click Change.

The Supplier Product Editing window is displayed.

7. In the Sup. Prod. Code text box enter the correct PDE for the selected supplier product.

Note: If the PDE number is unknown, enter the product’s barcode as a temporary measure. The correct PDE can then be entered next time the product is being invoiced.

9. Click Cancel to close.

10. Repeat steps 2 to 8 to for all products with single digit, double digit or barcode PDEs.

11. Proceed to Remove Duplicate PDEs: Step 6 - Merge any remaining products. 

Prevent future single digit PDEs

Products with single digit, double digits as PDEs are usually caused when entering an invoice into Order Maintenance, where your Minfos database does not have that supplier’s PDE for that product stored.
The Supplier Product Editing window will display when this occurs, and in error the ordered quantity is entered in the Sup. Prod. Code field.

If this occurs while entering an invoice either:

A. Enter the correct PDE (recommended) or

B. Leave the Barcode in this field (if the supplier does not provide PDE’s).
