Substitutes Subtask

Use this subtask to view current inventory information for any substitute parts for the part shown on the main screen.

If you select only one project in the main screen, Costpoint checks to see if substitutes are allowed for that part/project. If substitutes are allowed, Costpoint then checks to see if project-specific substitutes are defined for that part. If substitutes are not allowed, no substitute parts display. This information is defined on the Manage Parts screen. Otherwise, Costpoint looks at the substitute parts defined in Product Definition. The display includes only inventory quantity information from the selected projects, unless you select the View All Projects check box.
