How Do I Copy or Rename an Item Code?

To Copy an Item Code

This process copies all data history from one item (the current item code) into another (the copied item code). All records will be associated with the copied item code.

1. Open the Maintain>Purchase Orders>Item Codes> Copy/Rename Item Code form.
2. Select the Copy option, and then select an existing Item Code.
3. Enter the New Item Code, and then enter a description.
4. Click OK. All records are now associated with the copied item code.

To Rename an Item Code

This process renames the item code in all records; it does not merge any records.

1. Open the Maintain>Purchase Orders>Item Codes> Copy/Rename Item Code form.
2. Select the Rename option, and then select an existing Item Code that you want to rename.
3. Enter the New Item Code, and then enter a description.
4. Click OK. The original item code is changed to the new name, and all records are kept intact.
