Info

Once there are transactions against a stock record, it is not possible to change the following:

Stock GL Group.

Serial number tracking.

Attribute tracking.

 

To change any of the above, create a new stock record (this can also be performed by using Create Similar), and make the original stock record inactive.

 

It is suggested to change the original stock code (ie. put a Z at the beginning, which will place the stock at the bottom of a Stock List), then use the original stock code on the new stock record.

 

The history is held against the old record, so always find the information.

 

If there is any stock on hand against the old stock code, use a Stock Adjustment Down against that code, and a Stock Adjustment Up against the new code before marking the old stock code inactive.

 

Once stock has transactions against it, the stock type cannot changed.
