Valid item cross reference types (DIR42601)

This panel is only displayed if DC1 Distribution is installed. The panel displays the item cross reference types which can be used when creating item cross references for this name.

For example:

1. If this is a customer and you are allowed to set up the customer’s item codes, i.e. creating cross reference to the customer’s item codes, the cross reference type Customer will be set to YES on this panel.
2. If this is a competitor and you are allowed to set up the competitor’s item codes, i.e. cross reference to a competitor’s item codes, the cross reference type Competitor will be set to YES on this panel.

Item cross references are used in several programs within DC1 instead of the actual item code defined in the Item file. For example, in the sales order entry routine you can enter a customer’s item code, instead of your company’s identification of the item.

When creating item cross references, the item cross reference type needs to be stated. The following item cross reference types applicable for names are pre-loaded:

• this file
• the Item file enquiry
