Change Part Type to Sales Kit

Hi,

We have been using Part XX as a purchased part for months.
We no longer want to stock Part XX, we want to pick 2 parts (XY and XZ) together and call it XX.

This means i need to change the Part Type from Purchased to Sales Kit.
For some reason the Buy To Order check box is selected and every time I change this field to false it reverts to true (no bpms setting this field as we do not have any BTO parts).

How can i stop the BTO check box reverting to True when i change it to False then Save the record?

On our sales kits, the BTO checkbox is disabled. Did you try setting it to false and saving it before changing the type to sales kit?

Hi @aosemwengie1

Yes i have tried changing the check box whilst the part is a Purchased type.
The check box changes back at this point.
When the Part is changed to Sales Kit the box becomes disabled but the ‘true’ flag persists and i cant save the record.

Strange. Sure sounds like a BPM.

I know but i only have 1 Data directive on the Part table and 0 Method Directives on Part Update.

I do actually like sales kits, but they are quirky at best.

One thing I’ve seen is that they don’t understand that Part <> PartPlant.

My story is that when we want a part to be a kit in site B, Epicor freaks out if the part is Manufactured in site A, or if the Part setting is Purchased, or somewhere in there.

So, is it set to Sales Kit in both the Sites tab of Part Maintenance and the main page of Part Maintenance?

(Or if you have 6 sites, it needs to be set as a kit in 7 places, etc.)

I probably reported it to support and in 2041 they’ll fix that, but meanwhile it’s tolerable to make them the same.

Unfortunately, it turned out to be a Data Directive.
It was created as an old test directive with no description or naming convention.
Apologies.
