Documentation

Definition

The number of the item for which you can offer this item as an alternative.

Use

You can use alternative items in inquiries and quotations.

Procedure

Enter the item number of the alternative item.

Example

A customer wants a quotation for 100 units of product A. You enter a line in the quotation and the system assigns the item number 10. The customer has also stated that, if product A is not available, you can deliver product B as an alternative. You create a second line in the quotation for 100 items of product B and, in the alternative item field, enter the item number for product A (in this case, 10).

Note

If you copy a quotation into a sales order, the system only copies alternative items that you mark for copying in the selection list.
