Can we use cross reference for DRP to use demand and supply of old item for new item

Hello everyone,

We have a new requirement, a new version of an item has been launched in our business lines.

Now the new version has different item number and old version has different item number.

Good amount of inventory for old item is present in our stocks,which can be used to fulfill customer demand.

So, we want to use a combined demand and supply details in DRP (R3483) for old and new items Like

1, We want to generate messages for old items to consume the available inventory.

2. We want to generate purchase order messages for new items only.

3. We want to use sales history of the old item to generate the forecast for new items.
