Deleting a manufacturer conversion record or a manufacturer variant

If you no longer want the system to translate manufacturer names that are retrieved from deployed assets to the target name that is specified in the manufacturer conversion record, or if you no longer need to use a variant of a manufacturer name, you can delete either the entire manufacturer conversion record, or delete one or more of the unneeded variant names.

About this task

The following rules apply to deleting manufacturer conversion records:
  • You cannot delete a manufacturer conversion record if any manufacturer in the deployed assets database tables refers to the target name or any variant on the manufacturer conversion record. If you attempt to do so, the application displays an error message.
  • If you delete a manufacturer conversion record, the application deletes all variants associated with the record.
The following rules apply to deleting variants from manufacturer conversion records:
  • You cannot delete a variant from a manufacturer conversion record if any manufacturer in the deployed assets database tables refers to the variant.
  • You cannot delete the variant that is identical to the target name on a manufacturer conversion record. To delete the variant that is identical to the target name, you must delete the entire manufacturer conversion record.

Procedure

  1. In the Manufacturer Conversion application, on the List tab, click either the manufacturer conversion record that contains the manufacturer variant that you want to delete, or click the manufacturer conversion record that you want to delete. The application displays the selected manufacturer conversion record on the Manufacturer Conversion tab.
  2. Perform the appropriate steps to delete an entire manufacture conversion or to delete one or more variant names from a manufacturer conversion.
    Task Procedure
    Delete an entire manufacturer conversion record
    • From the Select Action menu on the Manufacturer Conversion tab, select Delete Manufacturer.
    • On the deletion confirmation dialog box, click Yes. The application deletes the manufacturer conversion record.
    Delete a variant name from a manufacturing conversion record
    • Select the variant and click Mark Row for Delete. You can mark multiple rows if you want to delete multiple variant names. To cancel a deletion, click Undo Delete.
    • Click Save Manufacturer. The application deletes the selected variants and saves the modified manufacturer conversion record.
      Note: When you save your changes, by default, the application identifies the modified manufacturer conversion as reviewed; the Reviewed check box on the Manufacturer Conversion tab is selected, and the Reviewed column in the table on the List tab displays a Y.
