About this task

For example, a 19" monitor can be a valid substitute for a 17" monitor. Note that substitutions are directional so, in this case, a 17" monitor is not a substitution for a 19" monitor. Information about valid substitute models is useful when you select models while creating transfer orders.

When you select substitute models, note the following conditions.

Substitute models can be used with work management transfer orders. Substitute models are not used in procurement part sourcing.
Hardware models included in bundled models cannot be added as substitutes.

Procedure

Navigate to Product Catalog > Product Model > Hardware Models.
Click a hardware model Name.
Click Add Substitution.
In the Collection list on the left, double-click a hardware model.
The hardware model is added to the List on the right.
Click Save.
The model is listed in the Substitutes related list.
