Mark, I have tried for a couple of years to find a way to resolve this with
no success. Epicor has not been able to help either. I have raised the
question at meetings and through support. We have resorted to reducing the
available hours on the disposed machines to 0. This has caused us problems
in some workcenters and we have had to leave 1 hour in (and reduce the hours
on actual machines to compensate) or scheduling will not work. The number
of machines is wrong (because we are not to change this number) but at least
our available hours are correct for scheduling. Not a good solution. If
you find a better one, PLEASE let me know.

Hello Group,
Here's todays problem.
We have been using many workcenters with mulitiple machines defined. We
have recently sold 4 machines from one workcenter. The system will not
allow me to delete these 4. I get "Labor statistics have been posted to
this machine. DELETION NOT ALLOWED". I need to change the number of
machines at that workcenter from 5 to 1. Please tell me there is a way to
remove these machines without having to change every labor posting.
TIA
