Hi folks! I'm new to being a parts manager but not new to automotive parts.
I recently took a job at a place that does not flip their SP orders to S after handing them out. The logic is; if it goes negative when ordered and gets posted in correctly (which pwashes the negative) then it does not effect count. Imo, it makes nothing clear about what is existing, still needed, and what isn't. On a high moving part it creates a shit storm, especially with backorders and restrictions in place.
Outside of not really communicating if something is handed out, and people ordering something again that is actually available because they think it is not, can anyone give me more valid reasons to help sell why this is critical and needs to change?
Thanks in advance.
