Inventory Item Code

[AIMAM]

Hi,

Our Inventory module in 11.5.10 was implemented by the vendor in a away that the Inventory Item Code, references Segment1 column in the database, is a character value set of of maximum 10 digits..
For reasons that I'm not completely aware of, the item codes were entered to the system as numerical only ; that is consisting of 10 numerical numbers.

The rquirements have changed and the users request to enter alphanumeric item codes which the value set allows as I mentioned above.

I would like to ask if there is any possible impact by such a change on the system functionalities and reports.

hi

Not recommend to have alpha numeric, especially while sorting data for reports indexing time will be an issue. Plus is not a best practices to have Item code by Alpah numeric if stock item are in large volume.
