Hi All,
Is there a way of changing an Inventory Part from Manufactured to Purchased Raw?
This is a previously ‘used’ Manufactured part that we now require to Purchase from a Sister Site. Is this possible please as I seem to be getting nowhere fast.

Can I change a Manufactured Part to Purchased Raw?

Hi
When you create an inventory part type with any part type except Purchased (Raw), a routing
head and structure head are automatically created in the background. Once created, the routing head
and structure head cannot be deleted. So, you can change part types between Manufactured and Purchased
or you can change from Purchased (Raw) to either Manufactured or Purchased, but you cannot change from
Manufactured or Purchased to Purchased (Raw). A new part number will need to be created.
Hope this helps!
normally you will get an error message if you try to do that. Because a manufactured part has a part list a purchased part raw has not a part list.
Maybe you can try to delete the part list at first on your test environment.

+2Thank you, getting so many ‘errors’ / reasons why it’s not possible as each part header / structure header is attached to so many other processes that it would take a week to un-pick and change.
I think I will need to go with

Hi, in IFSAPP10 is possible also delete structure and routing head, until heads are = Buildable state, so if you find that the part type is incorrectly set, and still in state = Tentative, it is possible to delete heads and afterwards change part type from Manufactured → Purchased (Raw).
+4Hi,
In addition: can we delete a purchase structure in cloud?
We have a part, manufactured, but with a buildable purchase structure. We want to get rid of this purchase structure to avoid errors. How can we do this?
