Notes and warnings

Prerequisites

  • Ensure that you created a successful backup of your data and that all operators are logged out of SYSPRO before running this program.

Security considerations

  • We recommend that access to this program is restricted to system administrators.

Restrictions and limits

  • The Comment fields in the GenTransaction and GenJournalDetail tables are not updated to reflect the new supplier code against the journal.

    The comment fields consist of a string of data which are built up a comment at a point in time, and are not renamed. These are the same as reference fields.

    The submodule (-sm-) fields are, however, updated. These fields reflect every value that could be in a comment field. In the GenTransaction and GenJournalDetail tables, the SubModSupplier column therefore reflects the new supplier code for the journal.
