overstock returns - something to try

Have you ever wondered what you have turned off on the PREVENT OVERSTOCK RETURN settings? Well- when we asked j-con help desk they told us there was NO WAY to get a report on how many sub-lines had been turned to Y to Prevent the overstock return. After some playing it quickly became apparent that the best way to test what is going on- is to turn the flags to N -- for all lines (we stopped at WSW to avoid touching out X lines which will stay turned off )

What happened -- the return list became HUGE. Some sub lines are obvious candidates - such as ABH s/l 0 (boxes of body shop screws) or BRK s/l 10 bleeder screws. We are keeping a LIST this time of what we turn back on --as some manual review has to happen at some point for these parts.

What happened -- we found lots of parts where we need to TAKE ACTION and - update levels - sell off - throw out, etc etc etc.

A good job for the winter when we slow down
