You need to use the "extraParams" option:

$("#txtItem").autocomplete("itemquery.abc"
                {
                        delay:10,
                        minChars:2,
                        matchSubset:1,
                        matchContains:1,
                        cacheLength:10,
                        maxItemsToShow:15,
                        width:500,
                        onItemSelect:selectItem,
                        onFindValue:findValue,
                        formatItem:formatItem,
                        autoFill:true,
                        extraParams: {
                                'CustNo': '791823'
                        }
                }
);
