IC13


IC13.1 - Associated Items


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,
Production Order,
Requisitions, and Case Carts applications.


**Processing Effect

When the Order Entry application tries to fill an order using an item
with insufficient stock, it checks the Item Master file.
The Order Entry application determines whether a replacement was designated
for the originally-ordered item. If yes, the Order Entry application fills
the order using a replacement item. If no, or if the replacement item also
has insufficient stock, the Order Entry application determines whether an
item has been assigned substitute items. If substitute items exist, the Order
Entry application displays a message.


**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).
To enter additional information about an associated item, choose More
for that associated item.
