Recoding Inventory Models
When recoding an inventory model, the model part number is recoded but the components of the old model are retained under the new model part number. If the components of the new model are already defined, RM81 makes you delete that model's definition in IM29 before you can enter the recode parameters in RM81; i.e. you have to get rid of the components for the new model before it copies the components from the old model over.
| Scenario | Old | New | Results in IM29 |
| If you recode MODELA to MODELB, you need to delete MODELB in IM29, enter the recode parameters in RM81 and then run RM82. MODELA will cease to exist; history for MODELA and MODELB will be merged and reported under MODELB; the components of MODELA will become the components of MODELB in IM29. |
MODELA COMP1 COMP2 |
MODELB COMP3 COMP4 |
MODELB COMP1 COMP2 |
| If you want to recode MODELA to MODELB, but retain the components of MODELB, then you need to do a multi-step procedure: | |||
| Recode MODELB to a temporary product code. RM82 only does a recode. MODELB is now gone; history and IM29 are under MODELTEMP. | MODELB COMP3 COMP4 |
MODELTEMP (does not exist in IM13) |
MODELTEMP COMP3 COMP4 |
| Recode MODELA to MODELB. RM82 only does a recode. MODELA is now gone; MODELA's history and IM29 are under MODELB. | MODELA COMP1 COMP2 |
MODELB (does not exist in IM13) |
MODELB COMP1 COMP2 |
| Delete model definition for MODELB in IM29. | |||
| Recode MODELTEMP to MODELB. RM82 does a recode/merge of history. MODELTEMP is now gone; original history and IM29 from MODELB --> MODELTEMP are now back to MODELB along with history from original MODELA. | MODELTEMP COMP3 COMP4 (history and components of original MODELB) |
MODELB (exist in IM13 but not in IM29) (history and components of original MODELA) |
MODELB COMP3 COMP4 (history of A&B; components of original MODELB) |
| Double check product description of MODELB in IM13; expect it to be the description of original MODELA. | |||
