IC13


IC13.1 - Associated Items

**Form Purpose
Use Associated Items (IC13.1) to maintain a list of substitute item numbers
for an item. Substitutions are informational in the Inventory Control
application. Three applications use substitute items: the Order Entry, Work
Order, 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
IC11.1 (Item Master) or IC10.1 (Formats).

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