Workflow to update my product IDs

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Hi guys. 

Hi Jonas,

I have installed Auto Number Manager successfully into XRM ToolBox and it works just fine. 
I'm using ANM with my Product entity and it will be used to automatically update the Product IDs when a record is created. 
I have installed the new attribute and ANM has created a new field and it is on my main form for the product entity. When I’m creating a new product, the new field works fine. 
So long, so good.  
Inside the CRM there is the originally field for Product IDs on my existing products. The product IDs is filled with different values and there is no connection between the different product IDs. For example: one product ID is: Office 365 and next is PO-125499. Obviously, no cohesion between the existing product IDs. 
I’m using this number format: AA-{SEQNUM:5} with seed 1. So the structure are: AA-00001, AA-00002, AA-00003 and so on.
So, my question is: 
How can I update all my existing products that already has the originally product ID into my new product ID structure on my new field? 

I have though about using a workflow, but it fails to update the structure. any suggestions? :) 
All best,

    Hi,

    One option is to have custom code for update, so you should be able to write a quick console application where you can read your exising products and can update those.

    Thanks
