Product Cross Reference Master List Report overview
Function acronym: ICREC
The Product Cross Reference Master List Report prints all information contained in the Product Extended Product Cross Reference Setup records.
The cross-reference file is an open ended file of products that cross-reference all interchangeable products to the ones in your inventory. The cross-reference file is especially useful to sales representatives during order entry.
The cross-reference master list is organized similarly to Product Availability Inquiry-Xref. If you are familiar with that inquiry, this report is easy to use.
| Method | Example | Type |
|---|---|---|
| Product by reference | This method generally results in one product being found. The
reference you enter in the Product range should be a non-inventory product
that crosses to a stocked inventory product. For example, a customer may request Brand A spark plugs that you do not carry but could be interchanged with Brand B spark plugs contained in your inventory. A legend at the bottom of the report lists the various types represented as: b-Barcode; c-Customer product; i-Interchange; t-Auto pricing. |

| References to a product | You must provide a product contained in your inventory and all cross reference type numbers that reference to it. This method is the exact opposite of product by reference. | Bar Code Customer Product Ship To Product Interchange Auto Pricing |
| Alternates to a product | After specifying a product, you can choose to display all
alternates for this product or one specific type at a time. For example, a customer may need a 15 amp electric receptacle that is currently out of stock. You can display all substitutes for that receptacle. |
Options Substitutes Superseded Upgrades Alternate Vendors |
| Where used as alternate | This method is the opposite of alternates to a product. Specify an alternate product to find where the product is used. If you specify Brand X spark plug, it may be used as a substitute for a Brand Y spark plug or a supersede for an old Brand X part number. | Options Substitutes Superseded Upgrades |
