Pagid/Textar Supersessions

here have been a lot

of questions regarding

supersessions from the

network in recent weeks,

illustrating what’s involved.

Supersessions are placed

against part numbers where the

purchasing department have

made a change based upon

numerous factors.

How does it work? The System

will clear stock of the “Old” part

number, before the “New” part

numbers come into the profiling.

This is to reduce the number of

part numbers that are not selling

and gathering dust. This in the

long run, will reduce the number

of excess stock that is held on

a branch’s shelf and maintain a

suitable profile for each individual

branch, without clogging up

space with redundant stock.

You need to supply the Textar reference. If you go through TopCat,

you will see stock of the Textar, but not the Pagid:

the Textar part and sell it. You can see that the Textar part is actually

cheaper than the Pagid version – this is because we wouldn’t want

the customer to pay more for the part number that it is superseded to.
