Currently the Items List does not show "Manufacturer Part Number" as a field that can be added to the Items List report. 

How can I get "Manufacturer Part Number" to show up in the Available Columns

Best answer by BigRedConsulting

Add the column/field "MPN" to the item report.

Boy, it must be a long day!  We were looking for the spelled out version not the abbreviation!

 

Thanks so much!

    Welcome back to the Community, MTS2022.

     

    I understand that you need to have the spelled out Manufacturer's Product Number (MPN) to show on your report. However, the option is unavailable.

     

    While this isn't available yet, I suggest sending feedback to our engineers. We consider our customer suggestions when looking for product improvements and ways to enhance QuickBooks.

     

    1. Go to the Help menu, select Send Feedback Online, then choose Product Suggestion.
    2. On the pop-up, enter a short description.
    3. Click Send Feedback.

    How do we add a MPN number to our Purchase Orders?   We just switched from Desktop to QBO and are looking for some guidance.   We order the same product from several vendors and need to keep their mfn numbers for each vendor.

    Hello there, @fvc. In QuickBooks Online, there's no specific field for MPN. However, you can enter the item's MPN in the Description column when creating a purchase order.

     

     

    Note that you don't need to add the MPN from the general item setup, as you source this product from multiple vendors. To ensure the correct number is used for each supplier, please continue entering it in the item Description on the Purchase Order itself.
