Delete a Part With All Its History
Reference Contents > Advanced Special Functions > Delete a Part With All Its History
A special Part deletion function is provided with this window. Drag a part from the ScratchPad to select and analyse its relationships.
After checking references in the system to the selected part, the number of references will be shown. A Part can not be deleted if it is used in Multi-stock locations, BoM, Production Plan, Process Route, Purchase, Sales or Work Orders, or Shortages files. Additionally, if the part has any non-zero quantities showing, it can not be deleted. However, Purchase Parts, Product serial number, Tracking, Engineering data, PO, SO, Inventory or WO history, Frozen Stocktake or MRP Results for the part can all be deleted, after which the Part itself will be deleted. This function can enable a Manager to see the extent of references to a part.
CUSTOM CAPABILITY: If you have site-specific custom database tables that relate to parts, you can include these relationships in the cCustomDataChanges code class. Then these tables will be included and you can optionally have rows related to the part deleted as well as standard ones.
