Alternative Items Fields
Remarks

Enter any text as a remark for the alternative item.

Match Factor

Enter the value to specify the matching degree in points. A higher value represents a higher match.

Example Example

Item 1001 has two alternative items: 1002 and 1003. The matching factor defined for item 1002 is 100 and for item 1003 is 80. If there is no item 1001 in the warehouse, item 1002 can replace it, as it has the highest matching factor.

End of the example.
Reverse Link

Select one or more alternative items and choose Reverse Link to create a reverse relationship between the alternative items and the original item. This means that both items are defined as alternative items for each other. The original item becomes an alternative to its own alternative item.

Note Note

Alternative items available for selection must fully match the definition of the original item regarding item type: purchase, sales, or warehouse. Alternative items can have additional definitions. For example, the original item is defined as a purchase and sales item. An alternative item defined only as a sales item cannot be selected as an alternative. However, an item defined as a purchase, sales, and warehouse item can be selected as an alternative.

To delete an alternative item from the list, select the Remarks or Match Factor field and on the menu bar, choose   Data   Delete Row  .
