Feature - Obsolete Kit Parent When First Component is Obsolete
This feature will allow the user the option to obsolete all kit parents if the first kit component is marked obsolete through Item Master File Maintenance, through the Change Item CSV Import, or through the Mass Obsolete Item application.
A new option has been added to I/M Global Setup Screen 3 - Option 13. Obsolete Kit Par When 1st Kit Comp is Obsoleted? The default value is “N.”

If the user changes the activity code for the kit component through the Change Item Import application, a line will print on the report for each parent that has been changed to obsolete. A count of the total number of parents obsoleted will print in the grand total section of the report:
