Title: MERGE INVENTORY PART NUMBERS
Post by sabney on 08/27/08 at 08:09:58

Does anyone know how to merge 2 part numbers into one in DBA?

Yes, but it is tricky. Let's say you have parts A and B and want to combine them into A and get rid of B

1. Use inventory adjustments to move any on hand quantity to B
2. Use Maintain Database on BKICMSTR, MTICMSTR and BKICLOC and delete the entries for A
3. Use SM-J-L and change B to A

If you do this do you lose history (purchases, shipments, etc.) for A?

No, you do not lose any history. The A stays as is and the B is all reidentified as belonging to A.
