Enter Complementary Part Data

Explanation

Use this optional activity to create links between parts that could be logically used together, in order to help you increase sales of these associated parts. When you receive an order for one part (parent part), the linked complimentary parts can be automatically viewed and suggested to the customer to include on the order. For example, if your main product is paint, then complimentary products, such as paint brushes and paint thinner, could be suggested to the customer. If you sell computer monitors and printers, complimentary parts could include cables and printer supplies. You can define complementary parts in Complementary Parts page.

The linked complimentary parts will be listed in a separate page, which will be displayed when you save a customer order line containing the parent part.
