When you set up Inventory and Bills of Material, you can define an item status to identify completed configuration items. You can use this status to disable the configuration item from all Oracle Manufacturing functions. You would normally specify No for each of the following item attributes for inactive configuration items:

• BOM allowed

• Build in WIP

• Transactable

• Stockable

You can run the Deactivate Configuration Items concurrent program to automatically deactivate all configuration items that have no open sales orders or on-hand inventory, and whose most recent sales order shipped more than the number of days ago you specify. Each deactivated configuration item has its status updated.

   To deactivate configuration items:

1. Navigate to the Submit Requests window. See: Submitting a Request.

2. Select Report and select Deactivate Configuration Items.

3. Enter the organization for which you want to deactivate configuration items that were completed and shipped more than the number of days ago you specify.

4. Enter the shipped number of days ago. Configuration items completed and shipped more than this are deactivated. The default is 90.

Note: You can delete item information for completed configurations from the database, including the bills of material and routings.

The ability to delete configuration items is subject to the same deletion constraints that operate for other item types as well.
