    Hello,

    Can someone explain how to use the Substitute Vendor Item feature? All the steps involved to allow a substitute.

    Currently, if an inventory item is ordered and vendor substitutes item, the only thing that changes on PO20 is the price. We would like to use the Substitute feature to accurately order/track items. (For now, comments are made on PO to state "LINE # NOT AVAILABLE;SUBBED WITH VENDOR ITEM #".

    Thank you

      Ability to Substitute Vendor Item - PO20
      Allow the user to enter a substitute vendor item on the purchase order line on a PO20.6. User can identify the quantity, UOM and cost for the substitute item. The substitute vendor item will create a new purchase order line.

      We don't use it here - the buyers find it easier to create the new line manually

        Thanks for reply.
        But what if the item ordered was an inventory item?
        Does the replacement item get assigned a Lawson # with the same bin location?
        How does the inventory get reflected with the replacement item?
        Thanks
