For build out/ old part numbers, should I change part status or remove parts from contracts?
In most cases, part status should be changed to "Build Out".
- Part is removed from regular (monthly/ weekly/ additional) order form to prevent order mistakes.
- Irregular orders (urgent, spot, trial) are still possible.
- Price and other master can still be updated.
- Price history record remains.
- If part needs to be ordered again (e.g. after market), the part status can be changed.
However, there may be reasons to remove parts from contracts.
- To add a new part with the same customer/ supplier part number.
- Housekeeping for parts that will never be ordered again.
- Housekeeping for parts moved from old contract to new contract.
Please take note of the impact when parts are removed from contracts.
