Peter,

It's been a while, but my understanding was that all that suspending an
item prevents is opening a customer order, manufacturing order, or
purchase order for it. I don't believe that any inventory transactions
are blocked, and I think the item can still be a component in a
manufacturing order. I'm open to correction if I'm wrong, of course.

Good morning all!

(We are in Rel 6)

A client just showed me evidence that he was able to do an 'RC'
transaction against a suspended item, which was surprising to me.

What is

the effect of a suspended item in MAPICS? I am trying to look for

detail

and more precise information in the manual or online but I can find

the

type of answer I am looking for. I thought that the "S" in ACREC will

stop "new" activity to be allowed but it will allow "current" activity

to

finalize, like existing mfg/pur/sls orders to complete. Under this
explanation, I also though that "miscellaneous" activity is prohibited

because the system will ensure that this is for "current" activity,
related to orders already issued ... but looks like it can be done.

Can somebody explains this? I want to make good notes of it.
