Box to store data about duplicate parts
Parts in a part list can be aggregated if the parts are duplicates (cutting list options). If parts are duplicates the quantities are put against the first occurrence of the part in the part list and the other duplicates have quantity set to zero.
This information box stores a reference number to the each duplicate line so that the original line can be identified. It contains the item number of the next duplicate in the set. The last duplicate in a set has a reference of 0 (zero).
