# Item Information Lookup - Prerequisites

Execute the following setup configuration before running this demo process.

## Cross reference

Look up item data by entering the item code or by scanning a barcode stored in the item cross references.

1. Go to **Warehouse** > **Planning & Operations** > **Items**.
2. Search for item 1924-W.

3. In the **Item** menu, select **Cross References** or **Item References**. This demo uses the **Item References** page.

> [!NOTE]
> **Note**
> 
> If you do not have the feature `Feature Update: Write longer item transactions` enabled, the process uses the Cross Reference data visible from the item list page. If you have that feature enabled, the process uses the new item reference logic that Microsoft has made available. Important note: This feature is permanently added to D365 BC starting from BC21, which means the process only supports the new item reference from that version onwards.
