Substitute Item Class File Maintenance
Application Overview
This feature allows you to define multiple substitute items in a class instead of one substitute item only. During order entry, if there is insufficient quantity for an item, the system will prompt if you would like to use substitute item. If you answer “Yes”, a window showing multiple substitute items will display and let you choose which substitute item to use. This function exists in COP Order entry and in the Stock Status Inquiry Plus screen.
Before you can use this feature, there is a detailed setup process. Please see the Global Setup - Substitute Item Class documentation.
