Create Alias Codes
 Previous Top Next
Alias codes are used to link together different codes for the same product. This avoids creating more than one product file for an item, which complicates stock control.  The 'base' code is usually your preferred supplier code with other supplier, manufacturer and your own codes set as aliases of the base code.  This allows you to type in any of the codes and the system will revert to your base code.
