We have about 2000 materials that we stock that are currently identified by ID numbers starting with a K6. All these items need to be updated with a new ID number that is a 5 million number.
I have very little experience with SAP and just started in the stockroom when this transition needed to be started. There doesnt seem to be a way (that I can see) to just change the K6 number to the 5 million number.
My question is, how do I do this? and more importantly, when I transition the materials from their K6 number to thier 5 million number, will all of the BOM's automatically update their materials lists to the 5 million numbers? There are hundreds of equipment BOM's with thousands of materials listed under them, certainly a database as large and expensive as SAP wouldn't require that all of that had to be deleted and re-done?
