Disabled by default

The Inventory Sku Substitution feature will allow one SKU to be replaced with another SKU based on various different conditions if inventory is assigned to base OLX items and is managed in the Inventory Items List.

Navigate to Inventory>Inventory Items List then click on the inventory item you wish to enable the substitution feature for.

Once you click on the substitution tab you will see the button that will allow you to then choose what inventory sku should replace the current one if the desired conditions are met and if you choose to you can also have multiple sku's that have different conditions of replacement.

The first criteria you can choose to use is to ""always"" replace the current sku with the chosen as seen below:

You can also establish if there is a certain date range that you wish to have the substitution occur or enter a far reaching date as you can see defaulted above which equates to not stopping the replacement.

The choices for the ""based on"" date type are ""inventory commit date"" which is defaulted or you can also choose order date:

The original sku will be in a ""read only"" view and can not be modified and then you want to select which sku will be the replacement"" sku from the drop down list of all of the inventory items that are currently set up.

The next ""criteria"" option that you have is to replace the sku only when the original sku is depleted and all of the remaining options stay the same:

The final criteria you can choose is the ""other"" option where you can customize various reasons to replace the original inventory sku. (Need to come back to screenshot after bug fix)
