My part number is being replaced by a new part number

Modified on Mon, 13 Apr at 12:20 PM

It is a frequent occurrence that part numbers are discontinued and replaced with a new part number.


While some price files will automatically perform these updates for you in your inventory records, you can also manually let the system know that a part is being discontinued and direct users to the new part number that will be its replacement.


Within the old part number populate the use warehouse field and use part # field with the new part number. 
Update the status of the old part number to changed.
When adding the old part number to a work order, you will get the notification the part number has changed, click OK and the new part number will populate in the part number field to add to the work order. 


If you still have inventory on hand of the old part number that needs to be sold before the system updates future sales to the new part number, you will receive a pop up notification that the part number has changed, but that there is still on hand available of the old part number to sell, and the user can determine which part number to use on the work order.
