Let's say you have two tables that vary in finish, but are the same price. You could swap between the two on your projects.
You can quickly accomplish this by marking one table as a Two-Way Alternate to the other table. This will automatically add the second table as an Alternate to the first table, saving you time from needing to edit, search, and then add an Alternate for the second table.
Each item must be added to your inventory to ensure you can search for it under "Alternates" and mark it as a Two-Way Alternate.
The advantage of this is that if someone calls wanting to book a table that is already sold out, you can quickly offer alternative suggestions at a glance.
On your projects, you'll also see Alternates as suggestions if you are out of stock or overbooked on the given item under Alternates. Remember that the system won't automatically add the alternate, but it will provide the suggestion when you click on the three dots next to the item and click the "Alternates" tab.
Below is an example of an alternate chair to the Folding Fruitwood Chair.
