Can you add your other part numbers as a suitable substitute? If so, then
you could just alter your BOMs.

Subject: [TN] Part Consolidation
Folks,
As a result of mergers we now have many duplicate and
triplicate parts with
different part numbers in our ERP (ORacle) system. For
example 3 resistors
part numbers - 123, 456 and 789, all are 1K, 5%, 1/8W, 0805.
The apparent solution (to maximize buying power and drive
MRP) would be to
assign a common part number. But, if all the duplicate and
triplicate parts
(thousands) are changed to a common part number at least 66%
of the
schematics, CAD data, libraries, etc. will require changes.
Hopefully
there's a less costly solution.
Is there anyone out there that can provide some insight?
Thanks,
Rick
