  Alternative item is a feature in SAP Business One (SBO) that allows users to substitute an item with another item in a sales document. This feature is useful when the original item is not available or when the customer requests a different item. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the alternative item feature, users must first set up the alternative items in the Item Master Data. This can be done by selecting the “Alternative Items” tab and entering the alternative items. Once this is done, users can select the alternative item when creating a sales document. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting up alternative items, it is important to ensure that the items are compatible with each other. For example, if one item is a size 8 and the other is a size 10, they cannot be used as alternatives for each other.
