73.0. "How to handle part # not found in APPIX" by PASM07::ANDREWKAN () Wed Mar 01 1995 03:55

    
    Lois,
    
    I have a couple of questions regarding local part number:
    
    1.  Suppose my program calls TPAS_CALC_TRNSFR_PRC and pass local part
        number (e.g. not found in APPIX), local standard cost and MLP to TPAS.  
    	And because this local part number cannot be found in APPIX, TPAS
    	will return error message like "%APPIX-F-PARTNOF, Part Id requested
    	is not on file" and return MTP =$0.00 to my program.
    
    	How would we force TPAS to use our local standard cost and MLP to
    	compute MTP value EVEN if part number is not found in APPIX?
    
    2.  We did some testing with APPIX part number where its standard cost
    	is $0.00.  A standard cost =0.00 should alarm users that this 
    	particular part number is not set up correctly.  How would our
    	program handle such scenario?     
    
    
                                                            
    Regards,
    Andy

There is no way to force TPAS to give you a price if the site receiving the data is coded such that they require a part on the Corporate Parts Master. The MFG facilities are all coded as such, where as the SAL facilities do not require a part on the Corporate Parts Master. The switch that controls this is: TPAS$DB.TRNSFR_AREA_TABLE.DB_FOUND_PART_INDCR If this field is set to 'Y' then that part MUST be on APPIX. >> 2.

How would our >> program handle such scenario? The TPAS program does send a mail out stating that a part on the Corporate Parts Master (APPIX) has a zero standard cost. Corporate Cost Accounting used to be notified on this, but they no longer wanted this information. The functionality is there, the mail is sent to a blank distribution list. You can add local people into that distribution list if someone in your site wants to work this. The distribution list used can be found in TPAS$MAIL:TPAS_PART.DIS Regards, Lois
