Unit of measure conversions and alternative items

A line on the purchase invoice may have a different unit of purchase to that on the order. They can be matched but only if the relevant unit conversions have been defined.

If an original item was ordered but an alternative was received and invoiced, then the original and alternative items may be matched. They can only be matched if the items are set as alternative items in the Item Master. That is, the item code on the invoice must be defined as an alternative item in the Item Master record for the ordered item.
