What is a Wholesaler Product Code in Erudus?

A wholesaler product code in Erudus is the wholesaler's own unique internal ID for a product. (This can often be referred to as a Local Code or SKU). It acts as a bridge to link the detailed Erudus product specification data (from manufacturers) to the wholesaler's internal systems for accurate data matching.

When viewing the Wholesaler Dashboard, you can select the "Product Search" button at the top of the page. This will present you with the Quick Search tool.

The Erudus ID of the product
Your Wholesaler Product Code (if one is already applied)
The product name

Please note: Ensure that "Wholesaler Range Only" is left unticked if you wish to search for products across the Erudus datapool and not just limited to your existing wholesaler product range.
