Cross-reference types define relationships between items and entities such as old item numbers or supplier item numbers.
For example, you can create a cross-reference type Old to track the old item numbers, and a type Supplier to track supplier part numbers.
Navigate to the Cross-Reference Types window.
Enter a unique cross-reference type name.
Save your work.
Enter the date on which the cross-reference type becomes inactive.
As of this date, you cannot assign this cross-reference type to an item.
You can delete a cross-reference if it has not been used by any item.
Choose the Assign button. See: Assigning Cross-Reference Types.
