What Can You Use Alternates For?
Imagine you have two tables that differ only in finish, but they’re the same size and price. You can:
Add them as Alternates to each other in your inventory.
Quickly suggest the second option if the first is out of stock.
Reduce back-and-forth with clients by having options ready at your fingertips.
How to Set Up Alternates
Go to your “Inventory” tab.
Open the item you want to assign an alternate to.
Click on the “Alternates” tab.
Search for the item(s) you want to link as an alternate.
Optional: Check the box labeled “Two-Way Alternate” if you want the item you’re linking to also recognize the current item as an alternate.
👉 Learn more about Two-Way Alternates.Click “Save” to confirm your changes.
Each item must already exist in your inventory in order to be linked as an Alternate.
How Alternates Work in Projects
When you're building a project and an item is out of stock or overbooked, click the three dots next to the item.
Select the “Alternates” tab to see suggested replacements.
You can then manually swap in the alternate item—Goodshuffle Pro won’t replace it automatically, so you stay in control.
