Manpon

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.
