RELATED IDEAS

Add 'source' information in deleted item file to keep from unintentionally deleting records from different ERP instances.

We had an issue in which items were unintentionally deleted from the tool. This was because:

1) we have multiple SAP boxes loaded into one MIO instance.

2) an item from one of the SAP boxes was deleted in SAP at the client level

3) an item with the same material ID # existed in another SAP box in the same instance of MIO

4) the MIO logic deleted all instances of that material ID from the tool.

Additional information in the deleted item file including the SAP/ERP box specific information could prevent this in the future.

    Dylan,

    We worked out a solution with Steve Lyndon. Basically, we stopped deleting any items that were marked for deletion at the client level, and then periodically, Steve compiles a list of materials that should be deleted based on what's come through in the past few months and which plants are in scope.

     

    Thanks,

    Alex
