Associated Items (IC13.1)
Use Associated Items (IC13.1) to maintain a list of substitute item numbers for an item. Substitutions are informational in the Inventory Control application. Four applications use substitute items: the Order Entry, , Requisitions, and Case Carts applications.
Processing Effect
If there is insufficient stock on hand for an item being added to a Customer Order, and no valid Replacement item is defined, and a Substitute item has been defined on IC13, a message displays indicating that a substitute exists.
If a valid replacement is designated for the original item, and sufficient SOH exists, the order is filled using the replacement item. If not, and a substitute item exists, a message displays.
More Information
To fill an order when the original item is out of stock, choose substitute items manually in the Order Entry application. You set up substitute items in Item Master (IC11.1) or Item Formats (IC10.1).
