One of the options on a non-inventory sales part is to have it replaced by another part. This works great on a customer order. One is correctly notified that a replacement part was found and automatically the new replacement part is overwriting the entered sales part.

However, on a sales contract we have the Revision and Items. This allows to include also a non-inventory sales part, but the replacement part is not checked. Resulting that an incorrect part is used. One is not even notified of the replacement part number to be used.

One should really deactivate the replaced non-inventory sales part in order to overcome delivery of an ‘old’ part.

Anyone that can help me understand what the logic behind this is?
