On assembly and inventory item records, you can set up substitute items directly on the item record.
To add substitute items to an item record:
-
Go to Lists > Accounting > Items.
-
Search for the item you want to add substitutes for.
-
Click the Edit link for the item.
-
Click the Item Substitution subtab.
-
In the Substitute Item dropdown list, select an item and then click Add.
Repeat to add more substitute items.
-
When you have finished, click Save.
There is currently no limit to the number of substitute items you can add for an item. You can go back to the item record anytime to edit the substitute items.
Note: If you add Item B as a substitute of Item A, it does not follow that Item A is also a substitute of Item B. You have to go to Item B’s record to add Item A as a substitute.
