Transfer/Change Item Codes (ICU920)

Use this program to change the following information in the Item and Warehouse/item Files for a range of items:

Vendor	Allow Non-Stock Purchase without Sales Order
Sequence number	Item class
Commission percentage	GL posting table
Taxable flag	Item Type
Restocking method	Ledgercard flag
Restocking warehouse	Order quantity method
Frozen number of periods	Frozen controls
Allow commitment	Number of periods ignore low sales
Item price class	Serial/lot flag
Replenish flag	Use default prices

All of this information is stored on each item in the item file. You may find this program useful when you need to make global changes to a number of item records without having to manually change each individual record in Item F/M or Warehouse/Item F/M.

For example, sales tax or zip code changes may affect a number of item records. You can use this program to make the change once.

When running this program, you have the option to:

Select the change order - item, alpha, item class, vendor
Select the beginning and ending order to change
Select the Change From field
Select the Change To field
Select the warehouse to change for warehouse/item information

Changes made in this program do not affect transaction files or other modules.
