Substitute or Replacement Items

You might enter an order for an item, but the supplier does not have the quantity available to fill the order. You can review a list of substitute items and select an item to replace the item on a detail line. If the system notifies you that the item on a detail line is obsolete, you can review and select a replacement for the item.

The substitutes or replacements that the system displays are based on the cross-reference types from the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Inventory Management system that you specify in the processing options for the Order Entry program and the Purchase Order Workbench program.

You can specify whether you want to review substitute or replacement items after you enter a detail line. You can have the system replace the item number, the item description, and the cost on a detail line with that of a substitute or replacement item.
