Updating X line data - gee ... who thought of this ?

In J-Con when you updated a line -- you got a list of the parts that DID NOT UPDATE .... so when we went to Exploris in Jan 2010 we were surprised to see that this was missing ....

Why care ...well-- if you are updating a line and say 10 parts do NOT update --what do you do with them ... are they obsolete or superseded or ??

Couple this with the fact that EXPLORIS still can't quite figure out how to delete parts ..and we have the making of a mess in 5 years from now.

One solution -- CHANGE descriptions ( and ask DFIU to update descriptions on all price changes ) -then you can run a report and sort by description in excel - and figure out what you have to do ...

We have started to make a PN Code ( sub line ) of 999 where we are moving crap --and waiting while Exploris comes to grips with how to delete parts ....  you have to do this 999 with EVERY LINE you have crap in..that is quite a few when you start looking at excel dumps.
