Can you capture a description-based item and a master item from the same manufacturer in one recall notice?

No, you can't capture a description-based item and a master item in the same recall notice even though they belong to the same manufacturer.

Note: Master item is the item defined in Product Information Management.You must create different recall notices with the same source document reference to process the recall. The reason is, the manufacturer is treated as two different parties when it's referenced from the Blanket Purchase Agreements and the Trading Partner Item Relationships.
