Add a Notification to the Item form to show that there is an Alias for this item in the system. This should appear right next to the Name/Number field on the Item Form. Additionally, there should be a column in the items list with a check box if an item has an Alias in the system.
Item alias’s are a great feature! You can keep track of different vendors for this item and each vendor’s part number and price. However, you never know if an item has an Alias unless you drill into the menu item “Alias” for that item.
This is a great request. I would like to see that expanded to show up list of vendors with Alias.
Hi Gene.
We have two different ways you may obtain a list of the item aliases. The first option is to run the Item Alias report located under Reports | Company | Items. The second is the Item Aliases Custom Data View (CDV) located under Reports | Custom Data Views.
