Inactive parts on jobs...how to flag or prevent

Yahoo Archive

We have a slightly similar problem and have a BAQ
that works on the Part Master and Job Entry BAQ
search. It looks at the parts on a job and shows
a checkbox as checked for parts on jobs that have gone inactive.

We use it to clean up WIP jobs where parts have
been declared inactive by Engineering.

You could use it as a foundation for a dashboard
to accomplish an early warning device.

We make a part inactive, but we do not remember to make all the "where used" subassemblies that require this part to be inactive as well. A year later, we open a job for one of the subassemblies and there is no flag or warning or hardstop that one of the materials for the subassembly was inactivated last year. Purchasing doesn't know to order the inactive material.

Does anyone else run into this? Is there any way to get a hard stop or warning when a planner firms a job that has inactive material on it?

Thanks,
Darlene
