Hi

The reason you give to change material code is not correct. You cannot/should not create material code based on vendor's material. What will you do if you buy same material from two different vendors? Same material will you have two material codes?

The SAP standard solution is create a material code with your logic for your company and maintain vendor material number in purchase info record. (It is specific to vendor) In case if vendor changes the material code, you can also change in purchase info record. You donot have to play with your stocks and material code
