Hello community,

 

Two sites we have are in an internal supplier/customer relationship. The problem is they have some parts that are physically the same, however they have different part numbers.

I would like to clean this up with a single part number for both.

Is there a way that the historic data of the part number I drop is linked to the new part #? Or maybe a way to merge both part # into something new, but with the old data linked to this merged part #?

For example, I have part ABC in site 1 and part XYZ in site 2. Both are exactly the same, apart from their part # and site in IFS. If I make part XYZ obsolete in site 2 and I create ABC in site 2, I would still like (as a buyer) to be able to make a search on the quantity of ABC we purchased from site 1 and 2 in the past years and have the data from ABC and historic XYZ (without having to specifically ask to get XYZ data).

Does it make sense?
