Alternative Items (tcibd0505m000)

	Alternative Items (tcibd0505m000) Use this session to list alternative items that you can define and modify in the Alternative Items (tcibd0105s000) details session. Note When you enter an item on the maintenance sales part line / work order resource line / service order material line, a message is displayed that a replacement for the item exists and whether you want to replace the item with the alternative item. If you do not replace the item, LN continues to display the message about the existence of the replacement item whenever you work with the order line. When you select a substitute item for the item to be replaced, you must check the master data such as the reference activities. When you use the reference activities, LN copies the material required data to maintenance sales order / work order / service order.
