The Line Item Detail - Manufacturer field displays the Manufacturer from the item's Inventory database record.
Editing the Manufacturer on the Line Item Detail screen changes the Manufacturer for the current line item only. It does not change the Manufacturer field in the item's Inventory database record.
Note: If the Merge Same Items Line Item Entry Parameter is set to any of the ON options (Warn, Auto, Auto - No Beep) and a line item's Manufacturer is edited in the Line Item Detail
screen, Keystroke does not merge newly added items with that line item unless their Manufacturers are edited to match it. This allows for the sale of multiple units of the same Inventory item with different Manufacturers on the same transaction without having to first disable Merge Same Items.
