Enter Replacement Part for a Sales Part

Explanation

In this tab window, you can connect a replacement part to the current sales part. When a new order line is created, the system checks to determine whether the specified sales part has been superseded by another part. If a replacement part has been defined with a date of replacement earlier or equal to the date the order line is created, the part on the order line is automatically replaced with the replacement part. An information message is displayed, and the sales part number of the originally requested part is stored in the Original Sales Part No column on the order line. It is only possible to define one replacement part for each superseded part.

A package part can only be replaced by another package part. Inventory sales parts and non-inventory sales parts can be replaced by each other.

Prerequisites

• The sales part header must have been entered and saved.
• The replacement part must have been entered.

System Effects

The sales part will be superseded by the replacement part at the defined date when entering a customer order.
