Slide notes: The 'Auto Create' item is checked when you wish the system to automatically create Direct Order codes when new Stock Items are opened. This is useful only where there is a common practice to order Stock as Direct Items instead of 'as Stock Items', as some people do. In this case, any Stock Item can be ordered on a Purchase Order as a Direct Item, and there will still be Order History for the Stock Item.

Slide notes: 'Generic Alternatives' is to be checked when you want the system to prompt the User with generic alternatives if a sought Item is out of Stock.

Slide 5

Slide notes: Supercession is automatic when specified on a Stock Item master, but if you wish the User to be warned about it when it happens, then check the 'warn' field.
