When a part falls out of use at a site, it is generally recommended that you do not delete it. Instead, you can set the part inactive using the Part Details page; an inactive part is invisible and inaccessible in standard operations, but can still be accessed by searches and reports that include inactive parts. However, if circumstances require that a part be permanently deleted from your system—perhaps in the case of a part that was created by mistake—follow the procedure below.
Note: A part cannot be deleted if it currently has any of the following:
● Defined components and/or physical data
● Location assignments/exclusions
● User-defined data
● Hazard ratings and/or classifications
● Recorded transactions
● Preferred or restricted transaction types
● Selection as a component of another product
● Selection as a related part of an SDS
All of this data must be removed/cleared before the part can be deleted.
To delete a part:
Starting at the Part Home page (How do I get there?), do the following:
● Click the Delete icon in the part toolbar.
