cant say I remember what that was. the MID (Match ID) has always confused me

Okay, I will give it a go...
The Match ID is how we link items in the Regular inventory with items listed
as Alternates. For most Match ID's you are using a unique number to designate
which pair of items replace one another. The existing variant gets a number...
say 5, and stays in the Regular inventory. The new variant gets the same number
5, and is listed as an Alternate.
The numbers 1,2,3 etc. are just a sequential way of indicating the number of
paired items in the inventory. The first pair of items listed in a set are 1,
the next 2, and so on. When choosing a new Match ID, go to the inventory for
that set, look at the existing Alternate section and pick the next highest number
not in use.
When parting out a set, the items that are matched with an MID will generate
a dialog for you to choose which of the two you want to add. Without this system,
it would be really easy to add duplicate lots when parting things out.
**I've used pairs of items as an example here for simplicity's sake.
It is possible for a Match ID to link a group of items. The key is to understand
that one batch replaces the other in that particular inventory.
Good luck,
Jen

I don't know how but that just clicked and I think I understand it now.
so that the item stays in the inventory and the alternate can be linked to the
regular item despite it being listed in the alternate area

I think you've got it! 
It's all part of our system which is both a catalog of what's in a set,
and a system for parting out that set accurately.
