Our Products, Your Part Numbers

Custom Part Number Synchronization Services

Our Custom Part Number (CPN) feature allows you to load your own custom part numbers for any of our products. Your custom part numbers will appear on your invoices and delivery tickets, as well as when you browse products online, make purchases, and build quotes or custom lists. You can use your custom part numbers to buy products on our website, including quick-order tools like Rapid Entry, or when placing orders at our locations.

Custom Part Numbers FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Our Custom Part Numbers feature allows you to set up your part numbers to correspond with Elliott's catalog numbers on our website as well as on printed invoices.

Once you've loaded your part numbers, every time you're logged, in you will be able to search our products using your own Custom Part Numbers. You can also use your part numbers in our Rapid Entry forms and other creation methods for orders, quotes, or custom lists. These numbers also show up alongside Elliott's part numbers in many places on our site, including your invoices. You can toggle these on and off based on your needs.

You can add your custom part numbers directly from our Products section by entering your part number for each desired item, or you can use the Rapid Entry or Spreadsheet Upload options available from the Custom Part Numbers section.

Once you log in, there are three ways to add new Custom Part Numbers:

CPN by Item List

On a product details page, click the green Add dropdown arrow and select Customer Part Number. Use the pop-up window to create your own custom Part Number and Custom Description.

CPN by Rapid Entry

CPN Rapid Entry lets you define your CPNs quickly by entering them side-by-side with the corresponding Elliott Catalog Numbers. Once you've submitted your entries, if you had any pre-existing CPNs for products entered, you will be asked to choose between keeping the current CPN or replacing it with your new CPN.

CPN by Spreadsheet

From the main Custom Part Numbers page, click the Upload Spreadsheet button to upload your custom part number data as a spreadsheet (CSV file) in the following format:

Column 1 (required) = your (custom) Part number
Column 2 (required) = our corresponding Catalog number
Column 3 (optional) = your custom description

Yes. Our Custom Part Numbers option supports the uploading of CSV Spreadsheet files, which can be created from Excel.

After you log in, go to the main Custom Part Numbers page. Click the Upload Spreadsheet button and follow the on-screen directions. If any entries are invalid or duplicates, you will be prompted to fix any issues that were found.

When you upload a spreadsheet containing custom part numbers or submit them in our Rapid Entry form, you may have to validate certain entries that have conflicts.

This may happen because some of the Elliott part numbers you uploaded did not match up with our system (i.e., the Elliott part numbers you entered do not exist), or it may also occur when you already have an existing custom part number for one of your entries.

If the issue is a non-existent Elliott part number, you can go back and amend the number if you think it contains a typing error, or you can enter detailed information about the part you want.

If the issue is a duplicate or pre-existing custom part number already saved on your account, you are given the choice to use the existing part number or your new entry. Only one custom part number can be saved for each Elliott product.

We have thorough error/exception checking in place to prevent as many errors as possible and ensure the accuracy of your Custom Part Numbers.

You can manage Custom Part Numbers by viewing and editing them to your preference. Or search for your specific part number.
