Remapping and Editing Product Codes

Renaming Product Codes

This involves the changing of the Product Code Name (PCodeName)

Why: Some instances where you might need to change a product code :

• an incorrect product code name was entered originally and it needs to be changed or,
• a recent change in ownership
• A situation where product code names = your asset type names, but after the asset type was renamed, they no longer do, so you want to change it to match, unless the change in Asset Type Name provoked the change of Product Code Name

If you need to rename a product code, please contact your TrackAbout Support Representative

Effects: If you decide to change the Product Code Name for a Product Code Name that was originally set to equal Asset Type Name (PCodeName = AssetType), you will need to change the Asset Type to match the Product Code Name, unless the change in Asset Type provoked the change of Product Code Name.

Remapping Product Codes

Why: Change in Organizational Structure. Mergers, Acquisitions. Errors mapping product codes during implementation.
