External IDs
External IDs are IDs for items or services your business partners use when conducting business with you. The Post, for example, uses its own IDs for their items (ordinary letter, standard letter etc.) which you enter to your items, e.g. postal service costs.
In PANTHEON, external IDs are listed in the Items register. In the menu, open Settings | Items | Items or press the F12 key and go to the eServices panel.
For every one of your Items, you can enter all subjects with whom you conduct business and their IDs for items and services that you usually buy. When this is done, PANTHEON will know e.g. how to create lines on a received invoice with your own items when importing eDocuments on the basis of the external IDs that were previously correctly entered (as shown in the picture below).
