Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations

Related Products

Related products are used to add similar or related products, like accessories, or spare parts, and build relationship between the related products and the original product. These product relations are used for cross- and up-selling, or it can be also used to provide alternatives in case any of these products is out of stock.

Using the Related products form, you can define product relationships. Before you can define the related products, you must set up the product relationship types. To do this:

Step 1: In Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations click: Product information management > Setup > Product relationship types.

Step 2: Create product relationship types. The Name field is used to identify what relationship the product has to other products, for example an accessory or a similar product.

When the relationship types are created, the relationship between products can be set. To define the related products:

Step 1: Click: Product information management > Products > Released products.

Step 2: Select the necessary product and on the Product tab click Related products.

Step 3: On the Related products form create a new record which identifies the related product by selecting the product number.
