Any downside to deleting supplier pricing record (VendPart table)

One of these “Hey I’m new here…just work here”.

Long story, discovered lead time in that table is tied to Days Out.

OK. We don’t normally use it and who knows who did.

Deleted a supplier record in test db, didn’t complain. Given the simplicity of VendPart, ok for this?

And when I say delete, meaning within Epicor.

LeeRoy Jenkins it…

Kidding Kidding…

This is NOT something I would just do, especially as the new guy. I would push back a bit and make sure the impact is understood before anyone touches the data.

VendPart : Vendor info about “Our Parts”. Parent to VendPBrk file.

VendPBrk : Vendor Price Break. Contains Quantity/Price purchasing data. Subset of VendPart file. Provides defaults to purchasing. Provides default Cost Breaks for Quote materials/subcontract lines.

Before making any changes, I would build a few BAQs to see how many parts would be affected, then get that information in front of the right people; likely Sourcing and Accounting, before deciding how to proceed.

Yeah, thank you.

No price break type stuff…like I told the VP, looks like it was the wild west for a time here. He asked if I could deactivate it the pricing.

Hence my initial question and while killing the record, ugh. Think will just plug the lead time into supplier pricing record and call it a day.

You know, why can’t we have nice things…but that’s probably why they pay me.

Thank you all.

Looked at another way, now YOU are the nice thing!

No pressure.

price lists do have an expiration date, so if it expires, it is no longer used. I would simply enter an expire date.

Thank you, that sounds like a good plan…will run it up the pole to top brass.

Just visited your website, how large is your company??

All relative, I find us small…600 employees.

Right on, do you have multiple plants running?
