Is it only possible to have one alternate item per item code? We were thinking about implementing alternate items, but it won't work for us unless we can add multiple alternate items per item code.

Hi Susan,

And item can specify another item, and that item can specify yet another item. However, there is only space to store a single item on the Inventory record.

When you select an item for an order, Adagio OrderEntry will list all the equivalent items to choose from. A->B->C->D will result in B,C and D being alternates for A.

Would this mean that we cannot have D->A (i.e. D can be replaced by A), even though D really can be replaced by A?

Would this create a circular logic problem?

I don't think that's a problem.

Hi Sam,

Think of Alternate items as being part of an 'item set'. In fact, that is how it works - use the Column Editor on an item grid and add the 'Set # key' field. If this value is 0 then there are no alternate items defined. If this value is non-zero, then it can be an alternate item with every other item that has the same value. Essentially this field 'groups' items into Alternate item 'pools'.

So in Andrew's example, items A, B, C and D are all alternate items with each other. Check sample data and there are mant set up, including groups with more than 2 items (the KAK items).
