Title: DELETE PART NUMBERS
Post by Prier Products on 06/09/14 at 09:38:01

Good morning,
What is the best way to delete part numbers? Some of the items we want to erase have history. We want to know the best practice as recommended by IS tech.

Thanks!

Why don't you make the Obsolete?

Thanks Kelloggs! We have a lot of obsolete parts right now, I think we are trying to get rid of some of those as well.

You can use SM-J-L to transfer the inv tran, bom, etc, etc to a new Part ID

Then you can delete the "old" Part ID.

See if that would work for you.

If you make them Obsolete, you can archive them using IN-L-O which removes them from the live database. What Kellogs is suggesting just turns them into something else, doesn't really get rid of them.

I don't see any reason to ever delete company history.

You may not need that info but someone may need it some day.

I agree with shadowcaster. I prefer to make a new company and then archive the older stuff. Then I still have the old stuff unarchived on an earlier company.
