Posted on by

Hello, I want to rename item number use record info:

pastedimage1578381086304v1.png

 and show error message: It is not allowed to rename the Item number.

I think it suppose to rename even that item has transactions, right? because it said it will update all references. 
Thanks for your kind help.

    What is the error message you get when you try to rename an existing item?

    Hello, Ludwig,

    Yes, correct.

    I already suggested it to my client, but they seems not happy with this solution.

    Hi,

    It looks as if you use D365FO is that right?

    About the renaming issue:

    Can't you simply create a new item and put the one on hold for all kind of transactions?

    This seems the better solution to me especially if you have already transactions recorded for that item.

    Best regards,

    Ludwig
