 Substitute Item Class File

Application Overview

You can now 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.  You can choose which substitute item to use.  A similar function also exists in The Stock Status Inquiry Plus screen.

Before you can begin using this function you will need to setup the Five Additional Item Search Keys Enhancement and generate an Item index key, see Systems Manager Manual Global Setup for System and Utility. 

Run Instructions

From Elliott Main Menu go to > Util-Setup > Global Setup > Dist > Substitute Item Control

Field 1.   Use Substitute Item Enhancement?

              Answer “Y” to enable this enhancement.  Otherwise, answer “N” to disable function.

Field 2.   Search Window Display Form

There are two options for this field:  1 = One Line Info. or 2 = Two Line Info. 

If you answer “1” in this field, the system will display a one line item description for the substitute items.  After you type 1 and press <Enter>, a popup window will display prompting the message “Display Qty In Search Window:”.  This message is asking you what information  (bottom menu) you would like to display in the Substitute Item Search Window.  You have three options: 1= Qty. On Hand & Qty. Available, 2= Qty. On Hand & Qty. On Order, and 3= Qty. Avail & Qty. On Order. 

If you answer “2”, the system will display a two-line description.  Additionally, it will also display the Qty. On Hand, Qty. On Order, Qty. Avail and Qty Allocated.

Using Substitute Item Enhancement

 After setting up the Search and Index keys, the next step, (Inventory Maintenance – Substitute Item Class File Maintenance), is to define the item class under the Substitute Item Class File Maintenance as shown in Figures 3F.5.  This Item Class can be assigned to as many Item Master record(s) as needed for a substitute reference, (Figure 3F.6, Field 10).
