Inventory Bogus P/N

The Bogus P/N option is used to enter those Part and Serial Number combinations that the inventory or inspection department(s) has found to be bogus. Bogus parts can be, for example, stolen part numbers, or parts that have been recognized as unreliable (high number of unscheduled removals due to failures).

The system displays the following screen:

Enter the Transaction Number for the Part Number and click on the Find button.

Any Bogus Part Numbers that are related to the entered Transaction Number will be displayed.

To enter a new Bogus Part Number, click on the New button.

The following screen appears:

Click on the Save Button to save all information. The system redisplays the screen as follows with a system-generated Transaction No:

Once the record is created in the system and the serialized part is recognized during the receiving process, the Receiving department will get a bogus part flag prompt, as seen below:

Note: This functionality does not prevent the part from re-entering your facilities. It simply notifies the receiver that the part is known to be “unacceptable”. If this message is confirmed with Yes, the part may still be received into the inventory and issued as with any other part.

For a Bogus Print listing, go to the Inventory/Print/Inventory Transaction History Print, as seen below:

Select the Detail option in the print drop window and selected the BOGUS Transaction Type from the predefined pop-up selection window, then select the Print button.
