2. Generating the "Items Without Vendor Parts Report"
For generating the Items Without Vendor Parts report, configure the available options as required:
Figure 1.2
- Select or deselect the checkbox “Treat linked Parent and Child UPCs as one item” based on whether linked UPCs should be evaluated together or independently.
When selected, the system evaluates linked Parent and Child UPCs together.
- If a Parent or Child UPC has a vendor part assigned, the linked item will be ignored.
- The system checks vendor part availability on both Parent and Child.
- The item appears in the report only if BOTH Parent and Child UPCs are missing vendor parts.
When unchecked, the system behaves as per existing functionality.
- Child UPCs are evaluated independently.
- Parent-child linkage is ignored.
- If a Child UPC has no vendor part, it will appear in the report even if the Parent has one.
Vendor-Specific Filtering
A Filter By dropdown is displayed right beside to the checkbox. The available options are as follows:
- Show All
- Filter By Vendor
When you select the "Filter By Vendor" option, the Manage Filter pop-up window is displayed.
Figure 1.3
- Choose the appropriate vendor(s) from the Vendor results.
- Click the right arrow button to move the selected vendors to Selected List section.
- Click on "Apply."
- Once you Generate the report, the resultant product list would be shown for the selected vendors.
Combined Behavior
When both features are used together:
- System first applies vendor filtering.
- Then evaluates Parent and Child UPC logic based on checkbox selection.
Example Scenario
- Checkbox: Checked
- Selected Vendor: Vendor A
System will:
- Check vendor part for Vendor A
- Evaluate both Parent and Child UPCs
- Show item only if BOTH Parent and Child are missing vendor part for Vendor A
After applying the desired selections, click on the "Generate Report" button.
The system will display the list of items that are missing vendor parts based on the selected checkbox setting and vendor filter criteria.
