Inventory Maintenance Change Inv Cat Sub Cat

Action: CATCHANGE

This utility is used to update the category and sub-category specified for an inventory item. It updates all occurances of category and sub-category throughout ProfitSystem. The catetgory and sub-category can be updated directly on the Inventory form, but that change will not affect existing ticket sales, purchase order items, etc.

The vendor can optionally be entered along with the old category and sub-category. In this case, only inventory items that match on the vendor, category, and sub-category will be updated. The old vendor or old sub-category can be left blank, and in this case all inventory that matches on whichever fields are filled in will be updated. For example, if the old category is WG, and the vendor is 12, then only inventory with category WG and vendor 12 will be updated. If the old category is WG and the vendor is left blank then all inventory with category WG will be updated to the CHANGE TO Category.

Sub-category and Vendor is optional to use. So to swap WG to BRIDAL in Existing Old Category field enter WG and in Change To New Category field enter BRIDAL. The click Update button.

It is recommended that a current backup be made before using this (or any utility) that make mass updates to the data files.
