The Item Number Change Processor is used to process the Item Number Changes that have been submitted by the Item Number Change Submission program. The Item Number Change processor processes the open status records in the NEWITEM file, and it updates the Catalog, Inventory and other information associated with the old item number (sales order, invoice, PO lines, inventory transactions, comments, cross reference and special pricing records, etc) to the new item number.
Once the Item Number Change Processor has completed changing all of the history and other information tied to the old item number, it changes the status of the Item Change Request record to C to indicate that the item number has been successfully updated.
