The item interchange number is used to access or identify item numbers in the inventory using different codes. For example, if item number 100 is 1/2 inch metal tape, there might be an interchange number called tape. When tape is entered into the system, item 100 is displayed.
Interchange numbers must be greater than one character. Duplicate interchange numbers may not be used for different item numbers. Interchange numbers also may not be existing item numbers in the inventory. The file may be used to store your customers’ part numbers as an aid when they are creating a sales order.
Interchange numbers are used throughout the system where items are entered except in the Sales Analysis module.
