Sales Item Number Type Field

The BizTalk Partner Setup Header Table

This field allows you to indicate what sales item number you and your BizTalk partner have agreed to use. To choose a number type, open the list and select one of the following:

There are two possible item numbers that you may use:

1. Internal Item No: This is the item number that you use internally.

2. Common Item No.: This is a unique common item number that the vendor and customer agree upon.

The common item number will normally be a standardized item number, for example, a European Article Number (EAN).

You can use the common item number to identify items on inbound BizTalk documents.
