Alternative Inventory
Where an item has no stock AND it has an alternative set, that message is displayed regardless of the status of item (except for Deleted, deleted items cannot be added to sales orders or purchase orders).
To add an alternative inventory item, use the Alternate > Alternate - Children tab in Inventory Maintenance.
To view the item that this is an alternative for, use the Alternate - Parents tab
