Type 2 <Enter> to be prompted for the synonym information.

Enter Part Number that you want to use in place of the real number

Synonym ‘FROM’ part number (MFG,Part#)?

Type the base part number (part number without any color-codes, etc) <Enter>

Example: MU,92089 <Enter>

Enter Part Number the way it appears in the PRODCT file

or enter partial part# followed a ? to cause a pop-up box

in order entry or PSINQ (example: 92089?)

or enter ‘####,’ and a model-order# to cause the synonym

to import a model order (example: ####,131807)

(Enter mfg,part# if mfg is NOT ‘MU’)

Synonym ‘TO’ Part Number?

In the example being used, type 92089? <Enter>

It is important to note that the number you are using as the base part number cannot be an actual part number since it is being used as a synonym.

The example above would yield a synonym MU,92089 to 92089?, that will cause a pop-up box containing all part number beginning with 92089, i.e. 92089E245, 92089E601, 92089E700, etc.
