Duplicated Inventory Items: how to tell

255 Views

Hi all,

my question could seem strange: is there some way one can tell an Inventory Items has been created by duplication ? Why in the world would I want to know that you may ask ?

Well there is a bug in 8.81 PL07: if you create an item B by duplicating item A, and then create a BOM of type 'Template' for item B, you can't use item B either in Sales or purchasing documents because SBO crashes. This is quite embarrassing to say the least. I created a message with SAP and learned that PL09 does have this issue, which is good news. But the problem is that we can't move that customer to PL09, because sadly it breaks Trimergo.

Hence my question, how can one identify the items that come from duplication ? Looks like a item created by duplication i somewhat different than an item created from scratch. If I could identify what's the difference, then I could fix the broken items.

Thanks for your help.
