There are some related issues.
Call it a challenge of identifying what in fact are items we not want any more.
We have report that starts with end items of selected customers whose end
items have not been ordered from us in ______ years, goes down product
structure to get all components of those end items, goes back up product
structure to identify all end items for those components, and what
customers they for, to identify the valuation of materials we have on hand
that are needed exclusively as components of end items we have not had to
make in _____ years.
We have lots of engineering changes ... this can lead to some components
becoming orphaned. We want visibility of this, sell off, or salvage inventory.
We have report that shows sub-components that no longer have any BOM
usages, and values what is on-hand for them.
Our sub-component structure is that when we quote a new customer part, all
the components individually named based on customer structure, then we
continuously find components that are physically identical, and combine
them into commons, in which the original one has field containing the
replacement #.
Item classes are assigned to indicate WHY we no longer using some part,
while we figure out what to do about the inventory or whatever associated
with it.
Hi,
could somebody advice me how to delete unused IIM records?
