DELETING A PART
To delete a part, you must begin by deleting items from the lowest level up. If you want to delete a Part Description, you must first delete all Serial Numbers associated to all Part Numbers listed under the Part Description you want to delete. Then you must delete all Part Numbers listed under the Part Description. Now, you can delete the Part Description.
Note:
Serial numbers cannot be deleted once history has been accumulated. When this is the case, a serial number's current installation can be changed to Dead. If not all serial numbers under a part number can be deleted, the Treat as Dead flag can be checked at both the part number detail and part description detail screens. The Item Editor part listing can be filtered to show serial numbers in Dead and part numbers and part descriptions with Treat as Dead checked on.
