G/L Class Code Changes

[louiste]

How do you handle G/L Class Code changes for Items? What cleanup do you do to preserve G/L to F4111, F41112, and F41021 integrity?

Some recommendations for changes were to back out all the inventory, make the Class Code change, then add back all the inventory. Great except that if we have Lot controlled or Serial tracked items, this could mean thousands of transactions!

We are on World 7.3.

I think also that the only solution is to back out all the inventory, make the Class Code change, then add back all the inventory. You have also to make sure that all JE for WO and SO have been created using R31802 / R31804 / R42800. Do you plan to change as well the G/L class code on the purchase order lines as well?

If you have thousands of records in the F41021, you can use the Product Activity EDI tables to back out all inventory and then back them in. I would advice you also, before doing this change, to make sure that if you have designed some specific reports or analysis tools based on the F41112, to check if they will still work with two lines for each execice / item / location / lot (previous exercice balance forward data will still be on the record associated with the previous G/L class code).
