Update the Obsolete Date Field onAssembly Item Record

A. Prepare the CSV file

The fields needed are the Internal ID of the Item record, the Line ID of the components, and the value for the Obsolete Date field.

Note: Line ID of the component may be checked by opening the Item record > Purchasing/Inventory subtab > Components sublist. First item would correspond as line 1, second item would correspond as line 2, etc. The ability to obtain the Line ID of the Components through a Saved Search is an enhancement to the system and is logged as Issue 242854.

Thus, if an item has 3 components, this would be the format of the CSV file:

*Internal ID of the Item is 100 (for illustration purposes)

Internal ID             Line ID            Obsolete Date

   100                        1                    12/31/2013

   100                        2                    12/31/2013

   100                        3                    12/31/2013
