Change Item Status Utility

Use this utility to change the material status for an item or range of items from:

  • Active to Obsolete
  • Active to Slow-Moving
  • Obsolete to Slow-Moving
  • Obsolete to Active
  • Slow-Moving to Active
  • Slow-Moving to Obsolete

After processing the records based on the parameters you defined, the details of each record that was processed displays in the grid.

Note:  You must identify all transactions that already include an item whose status you are changing to Obsolete or Slow-Moving and to take appropriate action for each. This utility allows you to change the status of items which are currently included in existing material transactions. The system prevents you from using obsolete items and warns you about using slow-moving items for future transactions. However, the item is not removed from transactions which already include it and you receive no warning that such transactions may exist.
