Alternate Product

At times it happens that customers want a particular item and that item is out of stock at the Store. In such cases the user at the POS can suggest alternate products that the customer can buy if there are alternate products associated to the product.

Alternate product(s) can be associated to a product at the Management Console using this option. These products are displayed at the POS when no stock is available for a product at the store.

To open the window, choose Operations > Inventory > Alternate Product  Choose a product for which alternate products have to be setup.
