Re: Looking for "inactive" parts

["Bruce Stern" <sternb@xxxxxxxxx>]

If you have lot control on these parts you can find manufacturing and
expiration date information in INP84.  We use this to determine when
particular batches of material are going to go out of shelf life.  You could
also use this to determine the last manufacture date for an item and
generate a report that would show you products that haven't been made in a
long time.

Open orders for items can easily be found using OEP55 by looking for
products (CATN55) where STAT55 and QTNO55 are both blank.  This gives you
open order lines that are not quotes.

The DTTR70 field in OEP70 is a transaction date.  It is the date that was
noted when the confirm shipment transaction was performed.  It may or may
not be the date the invoice was printed, if that matters as a separate
issue. We use the DTTR70 as the invoice date to be consistent with the ship
date.

Hope this helps.  If you want more information either post back to the group
or email me directly.

Is
