Instead of skipping the on order parts, I just never select them. I don't do this with GM anymore but I do with Toyota- It just keeps things cleaner IMO
The reason I started doing it is our obsolete parts get put in a "reserve" and I got tired of parts incorrectly showing no sales in 12+ when we just bought it 2 weeks ago or whatever.
I know CDK had an update that fixed that by going off receipt date if OH was zero but that definitely glitches at times and doesn't work so I still use my trick. It was also reverting to last actual sale if someone orders and buys a part today and returns it tomorrow. It would revert back to a last sale of 3 years ago or some shit. Then it would hit the reserve and piss me off to no end
This is how I do it: (this is my Toyota one so I do it at 11 months. You'd have to change the GM one to 15
These are some instructions I made for other parts managers in our group a while back - copy and paste works better than typing if you're not familiar with RPG
HOW TO:
RPG – arrow up 2 spaces to “ENG Enter English”
After ? type – SELECT PART-NO. WITH O.H. = “0” AND WITH O.O. = “0” AND WITH MNS GE “11”
Press enter TWICE and you will see the total # of parts
After the > type – SAVE-LIST PM-BATCH-LIST
Now go to PART MAINTENANCE (PM)
Choose “Batch-change”, F5(Use Save List) and choose the top one (PM-BATCH-LIST), click GO
Popup will show you the # of parts selected (should match what RPG told you), press F3 to exit
Now your parts are loaded so arrow down to Special Status, type DEL in the box and press F3 again to start, leave CONTINUE checked and click OK
Sounds like you're already doing something very similar but this may help someone else.
