I have a client with lots and lots of partnos which over time are discontinued, deleted or otherwise not in use.
They don't change the status in Jiwa. They just indicate as such with a special leading character on the partno.
After donkeys years of using Jiwa they now are looking into using the status field properly.
The problem is, when the status is changed in Jiwa it does all those checks for backorders, SOH, active purchase orders, unactivated stock transfers.
If they were to provide a list of all the partnos and the desired status, is there a way, maybe via a plugin I guess, to somehow automate it such that Jiwa tries to change the status and if it succeeds without throwing an error then just change the status but if it throws an error it will warn the user what the issue is maybe via a grid or other way that they could address the issue(s) and try again.
Or even more fancy if there are issues, then get rid of the backorder records, or close purchase orders etc.
