Substituting Items on a Suspended Receipt

There are times when the vendor does not deliver exactly what you ordered. For situations such as these, using the substitutions feature enables you to accurately account for your inventory. You can substitute one brand for another or one case pack for another. To substitute items, create a Vendor Purchase Item (VPI). If you have no vendor purchase items, the substitution page opens without any possible substitution options.

To substitute an item:

  1. Click Ordering, click Receiving, and then click Suspended Receipts.
  2. Click the Document number of the receipt that contains the items you want to substitute, and then click the Item you want to substitute.
  3. In the Substitutions dialog box, select the item to replace the original item, and then click OK.
