This transaction is designed to convert an item number to a different item number. The original design was to support the ability to change an item number based on the item status. For example, inventory is graded, and each grade has a different item number assignment. When the grade changes, that inventory needs to be converted to a different item number. Another example of status is items where the item number may be changed due to its condition. For example, appliances that are sold new will have one item number. If an item is scratched or dented, it may then be converted to a different item number for pricing and costing as well as inventory levels.
This transaction then creates a two-line adjustment transaction (GP Inventory Transaction Entry). One to remove the original item under the original item code; the other to add it back under a different item number.
