Cross Ref

These processing options specify how the system processes cross-references to substitute and obsolete items.

1. Substitute items

Specify the default cross-reference code that the system uses to retrieve substitute items. The value that you enter is used as the default on the Substitute Item Search and Select form. The code that you enter must be a value in the UDC table (41/DT) for cross-reference codes.

To retrieve the substitute item, the system retrieves the cross-reference code for an item from the F4104 table.

If more than one substitute item exists, the system displays a check mark in the row header that is located in the detail area and in the Substitute Exists column.

2. Obsolete Items

Specify the cross-reference code that the system uses to retrieve item replacements for obsolete items. The system uses the value that you enter as the default on the Substitute Item Search and Select form.

The system activates the replacement process if these conditions are met:

• The item being replaced has a stocking type of O (obsolete) in the F4101 table.

• You have specified a cross-reference code for this processing option.
