Hi vshan, just be careful before including the dimensions (i am assuming that by dimensions you mean Configurations) to identify the alternate items. Because if you are including the configurations only to include the alternates then remember that this configuration would be activated against this Item for every transacction you make (inventory transactions, purchases, sales etc..). i would have advised to include a new table and make modifications to include the new requirement. good luck,
