Re: Transfer from One Part Number to Another

The safest way to do this is to use a shop order.
Open one for the new number
Remove all of the components
Remove the routings
Add the old number.
Are you using labels to remark, need packaging, etc, add them as components.
Need to capture labor, add that also.
Add notes as to why you are doing it.
Now you have an audit trail and the accountants can track it.
Your inventory costs are not screwed up.
Use lot tracing? you now have a clean audit record.

Hey Larenzo
Just a word of caution... You may want to make sure your accounting department understands this transaction change.  We use standard costs and manage inventory costs very tightly.  We try to limit the use of this transaction as much as possible since this is a non- production transaction that changes the value of our inventory.  It can be time-consuming to understand why these transactions were made.  You might want to consider adding some reason codes to help with analysis.

Regards,
Bryn
