Manage a Product's Alias UPC

An Alias UPC (or Alternate UPC) allows a product to be identified and associated with other products for various purposes. For instance, a product packaged in a box is identical to the same product in a blister pack, but each package has a unique UPC; establish an Alias UPC for the different packages to share.
