I would add a couple more steps:
- Enable Run-Out on the old P/N
- Add the new P/N as a substitution in the old P/N
This will give message to those who try to make or buy stuff under the old
part number.
Oh yeah, make sure to close any open POs or Jobs too.
I'd like a sanity check before I embark on the following.
We're in the process of changing most of our P/N's and inventory
locations. I'd like to automate the following manual steps we do now.
1. Open old P/N in Part Maintenance, and use Duplicate to create new
P/N.
2. Change Primary Bin of new P/N.
3. Open old & new P/N's in Cost Adjustment, and copy old P/N costs to
new P/N
4. Use Misc. Issue to issue all of old P/N, using a Reason code we
created for P/N changes.
5. Use Return Misc Mtl to receive the old P/N qty into the new P/N,
again using the appropriate reason code.
6. Open old P/N in Part Maintenance, and set as: Non-Stock, Non-Qty
Bearing, and Inactive.
I have a few hundred parts (~400) to do this to, and none of the old
P/Ns are used in any existing BOMs.
This seems pretty straigth forward, but as we all know, the devil is
in the details. Let me know if you think there would be any
potential hangups in trying to do this.
