    Q: I have a material that is a duplicate at a site that has multiple storage locations. I can't select the check box to choose this item as the source in Manage Duplicates in order to move the history to the destination record identified. What am I doing wrong?

    A: Our expert writes: the issue is due to one or more SLoc's against the Source record which don't appear within Destination record - in the example presented SLoc's 1000 and INTR where present at the source record and not at the destination. To overcome this:

    • set the above two SLoc's up in SAP at the Destination material
    • 'Mark for Deletion' the above two SLoc's in SAP at the Source material.
    Either way, after the above is complete, a PU will be needed so changes are replicated in MRO IO.
    Keep in mind if you choose to 'Mark for Deletion' the records in SAP you may risk losing any history against those records. In this case they didn't have any so it is a viable option.
