Which one takes precedent over the other? If I have part that is part of a prod group and it is set to Dept A, but the part class if Dept B, which one will Epicor take as the legitimate GL Control?
My guess is if the part is not part of a Prod Group for pricing, then when it is sold, the Part Class takes precedent. All others are via the Prod Group.
They both work at the same time. Part class is for inventory and purchasing: the Part Class GL Control type defines the inventory accounts that are affected when a part moves. Product Group is for sales, production, and revenue: it defines which accounts are affected on the WIP and cost of sales side.
