RE: Obsolete purchased items

At Wasserstrom we made a mod using the PTYP35(Item Type) field. We have set
parameters like Active, Obsolete, Quote only etc. and have made mod to both
sales and purchase Order entry. We have also made a mod to the Item search
rebuild program to eliminate items that are obsolete or set for deletion
from showing up.
Deleting Item supplier profile will not work for us because our users
sometimes create Item supplier profile while entering PO, so they might not
know the difference and press F22 function key.
Deleting stock bal record is not an option because we might have existing
orders that still have the item.
Before making this mod we used to change Item description to "Do not use" so
that the user realized that the item is obsolete/deleted.

At Fossil we wrote our own version of Style Deletion to allow us to do this.

We have the situation where,  when a purchased part is changed or becomes
obsolete,  we would like to prevent anyone from accidentally creating an
order
for it.

There is an effective date range in the parts file, but purchasing order
entry
apparently does not reference it.   There doesn't seem to be any program
edit
(or corresponding field) to indicate that it isn't OK to order this anymore.

Is anyone aware of functionality we're overlooking?   We are using the style
distribution system,  if that makes a difference.   Thanks in advance,

Richard Evans
