Product Line Replacements
Use Product Line Replacement (1.2.23) to replace a product line and update open references to it throughout the system. Both product lines must already be defined in Product Line Maintenance (1.2.1).
You can specify criteria such as item, item type, group, or commodity code to select item records to be updated. A blank in any of the criteria fields means you select all records for that criteria.
Product Line Replacement (1.2.23)
You must specify Yes to Update to replace the product line. When you specify Yes, the system:
• Updates all item records you select with the new product line.
• Updates any open work orders, sales orders, sales quotes, customer scheduled orders, RMAs, and Inventory accounts with the new product line.
• Creates a product line change (PLCG-ADJ) inventory transaction to transfer items from the existing Inventory account to the replacement account. The GL transaction associated with the transaction type:
• Debits the new product line Inventory account with the value of the transferred item
• Credits the previous account with the value of the transferred item
A report of the replacement activity is generated to the specified output device.
The system uses the following criteria when it updates orders:
• The system updates work orders only when the work order:
• Status is not C (closed)
• Type is not E (expense)
• Does not have operation or transaction history
• Does not have GL transactions
Note: If no GL transactions exist, the system updates all work order-related accounts
• The system updates only open sales orders with 0 (zero) quantities shipped.
• If you manually change the Sales account or Sales Discount account in Sales Order Maintenance (7.1.1) or another program, the changes you make in those programs remain when you copy product line account data and update item records.
• The system updates RMAs only when Use Product Line is set to Yes in SSM Accounting Control (36.9.10).
