Types of Item Relationship

Item relationship types let you relate an item to another item for various contexts.

The item relationship types are:

  • Related Items: A relationship between two items.

  • Trading Partner Item Relationships: A relationship between an item and a Trading Partner Item, such as a customer item, a competitor item, or a manufacturer part number.

  • Global Trade Item Number (GTIN) Relationships: A relationship between an internal item and Global Trade Item Number.

  • Source System Item Relationships: A relationship between an internal item and source system item that enables you to map and identify items that have been consolidated from multiple source systems into a single master item.

  • Item Cross-References: Cross-reference types define relationships between items and entities, such as old item numbers.
