    Hi Atef083,

    Like mentioned above, you can rename the coding. Note that if you have customizations with new fields without the proper table relation, it will be skipped. For sure, test the renaming of the warehouses in a test environment first.

    Hi atef083,

    The effective from date type functionality doesn't exist on the warehouse master. Once updated, it will update all records. the warehouse is tied in so many inventDimId's and it's very difficult to create effective from date type functionality (typical for employee records).

    Hi atef083,

    You are right.

    Renaming will change the old records.

    If you don't want to have that then I would recommend that you simply create new sites/warehouses and not using the old ones anymore.

    This ensures data consistency and allows you reporting on the old and the new sites/warehouses.

    Best regards,

    Ludwig

    Hello atef083, 

    If you open your inventory sites, then you can make a right-mouse click and select the rename button. 

    Enter a new ID and then select OK, which will rename the site for you. 

    Please wait until the process is finished and then you should see your new ID. 

    Best regards, 

    Ludwig

    Hi Aftef083,

    You can change the description name. Or do you want to rename the coding of the warehouse?

    Hi atef083, 

    Have you tried renaming the warehouse / site?

    This should be possible even if you have transactions recorded. 

    Best regards, 

    Ludwig
