The Interchangeable button is used to make parts interchangeable with other parts in the system.

Interchangeability can be either One Way or Both Way.

For Both Way Interchangeability, the P/N entered MUST NOT exist in the system. Any information attached to this main part will be applicable to the Interchangeable part also (except for P/N Controls, which are defined with the P/N Control button). Both Way Interchangeability implies that if a Part B is added to the system as Both Way Interchangeable with Part A, the system will treat both part numbers as the same. If you request a Part B on a Picklist, the system may give you Part A. If you query the stock on Part A, the system will show you Part B along with it (you will see the actual part number).

The following tabs and buttons are available.

Select Interchangeable From Main P/N:

When selecting a part number, the user may select the Interchangeable button to view and select any interchangeable parts associated to the Main P/N.

From the following drop down menu, select the Interchangeable button for the Main P/N.

Note: This option is system wide where ever part number selection applies.

The P/N Interchangeable window appears displaying all of the interchangeable parts for the Main P/N.
