If the manufacturer being entered exists in the from_txt of the Z980_term_conversion tables, but points to another existing manufacturer, this page will raise a “duplicate” error. When this occures, go to the Term_conversion module, and either :
a) delete all instances of the desired “new manufacturer” in the from_txt or
b) update all instances of the To_txt to the “new manufacturer” where that value exists in “From_txt”

Then simply return to the manufacturer module and enter the new manufacturer as desired.
