Can you deactivate a non-inventory Purchase Part so it cannot be used again? Essentially, it is obsolete with not replacement. I can’t find a way to keep it from being requested on a purchase requisition.
Deactivate Purchase Part

Hi
I believe there is no direct functionality to deactivate a purchase part.
However, if your requirement is to keep a purchase part from requesting on a Purchase Requisition - Part Requisition Lines tab, you can set the Acquisition Type of the Purchase Part to ‘Rental Only’. In that way, users cannot request that part from Purchase Requisition - Part Requisition Lines tab. However, still it could be requested from Purchase Requisition - Rental Part Requisition Lines tab. If use of rental functionalities is not common in your organization, you may consider this alternative.

Otherwise, you can deactivate all the Supplier for Purchase Part records for that Purchase Part. Afterwards, even though users can add that purchase part to a purchase requisition, they will not be able to raise purchase orders directly since there are no suppliers for that purchase part.

I agree that none of the provided alternatives are ideal, but those are worth giving a consideration.
Regards,
Kethaka
