Add Alternate Items

You use the Item Master (SP) application to add alternate items to an item record. You designate alternate items when you want to use inventory items interchangeably, for example two different brands of motor oil. If you want two items to be alternates for each other, you must assign each as an alternate for the other. You can also delete alternate items from the item record.

To add an alternate item:

1. Display the record to which you want to add an alternate item.

2. On the Item tab in the Alternate Items table window, click New Row to add an alternate item. The Row Details open.

3. In the Item field, enter a value or click Detail Menu to select an option and retrieve an alternate item.

The Item Description, Commodity Code, Commodity Group, and Rotating? fields are filled in.

4. Fill in additional fields as needed. An asterisk (*) indicates a required field.

5. Click Save Item to add the alternate items to the item record.
