Merge / combine any two part
numbers in BusinessVision and
convert your entire system in a
single easy step.
ICM is an extension of Inventory Code Change
(see above), that adds special calculations and steps
to combine two items into a
single SKU, such as summing
quantities, averaging costs,
rolling values forward and
much more, ensuring a
seamless conversion.
Here are some situations where
you might find ICM useful;
- A duplicate item is
entered under a different code
and has history, receipts,
etc. recorded against it.
- Your Vendor makes a minor
modification to an item, or a
new model year and now
references it under a new part
number. With some history under
the old code and some under the new
code, you may find it
difficult to determine your
purchasing requirements.
With ICM you can roll forward
the history from the old SKU
into the new one and still be
able to identify the item on
the original sale.
- You sell similar items and
you realize they can be
combined into one SKU for
simplification.
- You did not know about
Inventory Code change, so you
added the new codes to your
system and kept the old codes
for history. (Note: If
you deleted the old codes,
they can still be recovered by
re-creating the original item
code, then running the merge)
ICM works by combining one
item (source) into another item
(target). For example; if
a company has two existing codes
A and B, and they want to end up
with just having 'B'. They
would Merge A to B and an sample
of what ICM would process is as
follows.
- All quantity values of
both A and B are summed
- Notes are combined
- Average Cost is calculated
- Profile information
pertaining to the target 'B'
is retained (Includes BOM Top
level)
- UPC and WorkBook are
carried over if they do not
exist in target
- All transactional values
are changed (As per Inventory
Code Change)
This list is just a few of the
many rules and safeguards
implemented in this
revolutionary program.
