ManPON is an acronym that stands for Manufacturer Purchase Order Number. ManPONs are a type of data identifier in data warehousing databases that are used to identify a company-to-factory transactional record.
They differ from a traditional Customer Purchase Order in that they are used by internally and are usually not exposed to the external customer.
Typically, there is a one-to-many relationship between customer purchase orders and ManPONs. This is necessary in order to communicate production information to the external customer.
Additional Uses
ManPONs are a means of separating individual line items in a customer purchase order so that each line can be manufactured in different factories. The ManPON ties the individual factory orders to the customer order.
