Has anyone shut-off the update of the second Item number and the catelog number to P4111
I have run into a problem and what seems like a plausible correction but the Peoplesoft Helpdesk advises strongly against the correction.
On rare occassions, we need to made a correction to the second item number or the catelog number in the Item Master. When we do this with our current set-up, the program updates all the records in our item ledger and overwrites the time and date stamp for historical records.
I thought that I was out of the woods when I found that this update to P4111 could be turned off by using either a processing option in the Item Master program or in changing a value in UDC 40/IC.
However, the Peoplesoft helpdesk strongly advises against modifying these options "as it can cause data corruption". They cannot give me a specific example of how this corruption can occur and my IT Guy makes a good point that if they know an option can create corruption why don't they remove it as an option or at least specify this risk in their documentation.
Does anyone out there update the second item number or the catelog number without updating P4111? Or on the negative side, has anyone experience data corruption when they try to operate in this way?
