Hi.
There are probably a number of ways to do this.
When you say you have 2 .ods files I assume you mean you have your data 
in one file and the supplier data in the other file, separated out in 
columns.
Is the part number in its own column. Can you be sure that the part 
number only occurs once in the suppliers list.
If so I would copy the supplier information onto sheet 2 of your .ods file.
You could then use the lookup functions to match the part number from 
the supplier sheet to the part number on your sheet and insert the 
relevant information.

Is this enough to go on or do you need more explicit instructions. This 
list will not enable attachment of files but could email off list.
