Running the Obsolescence List Report

KB Article #7749

The Obsolescence List report shows current Non-Protected obsolescence on-hand values that also meet the inputted Age, Last Receipt Date, Minimum Line Value criteria, and Maximum Value to Calculate (optional).

Three lists can be created from this report:

Non-Protected Returnable Parts (Return Only): Contains parts that are returnable and should be considered for an accrual return.
Non-Protected Not-Returnable Parts (Scrap Only): Contains parts that are non-returnable to the OEM.
All Non-Protected Parts, Both Returnable and Non-Returnable (All Non-Protected): Contains all non-protected parts on hand, both returnable and non-returnable.

Additionally, the report can show or hide non-multiples of pack quantities. Manufacturers may have a designated number of pieces required to complete a pack. If you do not have enough to meet those requirements, you can hide those parts from the list.

Note: In order to provide results, PartsEye must have received inventory data for the current month.

To run the Obsolescence List report:

Click the Reports tab.
Click Obsolescence List.
Fill in the desired criteria.
1. Enter the Minimum Age to Display (defaults to 12 months).
2. Type the Maximum Age to Display, if desired (defaults to 24 months).
3. Enter the Minimum Months Since Last Receipt (defaults to one). (For example, entering 1 eliminates parts received within the last 30 days, potentially eliminating current special-ordered parts from the list.)
4. If your manufacturer has a Minimum Line Value requirement, enter it here.
5. Provide the Maximum Value to Calculate, if desired.
6. Choose the Report Type (Return Only, Scrap Only, or All Non-Protected).
7. Choose the Priority Options, to sort the data (Oldest Parts First or Highest Value).
If desired, check the Hide non-multiples of pack quantities box to filter out parts that do not meet the designated pack quantity.
When ready, click Run Report.
