The functionality of related items allows the user to associate items which are often sold together.

Possible item relations include:

• Suggested item
• Accessory
• Substitute
• Base product

A related items panel is displayed in the R and SI window for each item which has at least one related item.

The following details are displayed for related items:

• Thumbnail image
• Name
• Item group name
• Applied price – an item quantity calculated once an item has been added to a document and discounts have been taken into account
• Base price – subtotal price

Selecting a related item adds it to a document.

If such an item has defined lots or is an element of a base product, during its addition to a document the application displays a window where it is possible to select appropriate item features/properties.

The selection window presents:

• Name
• Image
• Description
• Type
• VAT rate
• Feature/attribute values

The related items panel contains two buttons:

• [Show All Related Items] – as the space in the document window is limited, the button opens a window with all related items that can be offerred to the customer. In the opened window, items are grouped into sections corresponding to the types of item relations:
  • Accessory
  • Substitute
  • Suggested Items
  • Base Product
• [Show to Customer] – it displays related items that may be of interest to the customer on a screen intended for customers

The window with all related items also contains the button [Show to Customer] which enables the user to present to a customer all relations defined for an item being purchased by that customer.
