Thank you for submitting the idea. A system that allows users to attribute UPCs to Items in their Inventory is something we will look into options for providing in the future. Please note that the system that would allow for identification based on the Maximo user's entry of such UPC (manufacturer URL) data and automating the populating of such data would be two separate enhancements, the latter which we will also examine as a possible upgrade.
