Changing an Individual Debtor Number

To change debtor numbers one at a time:

  1. Select MAINTENANCE | OTHER MAINTENANCE | CHANGE DEBTORS.

Micronet displays the Change Debtor Numbers screen.

  1. Complete the following fields:

 

Field

Value

 

Debtor Number

Enter the debtor number to be changed. You can also press spacebar then Enter to select a debtor.

 

Debtors Name

Micronet displays the debtor's name for verification that you have the correct customer.

 

New Debtor

Enter the new debtor number you want on file. Micronet checks that this debtor number does not already exist.

 

Save Old Debtor

Select whether you want to save the old debtor in the Debtor master file. Options are:

  • No - move the old debtor to the new debtor number (deleting the old debtor)
  • Yes - create a duplicate of the old debtor with the new debtor number (saving the old debtor)
  • Merge Debtors - consolidate the two debtors (quantities only). If the new debtor already exists, this option is chosen automatically.

 

Change History

Select whether you want the debtor number updated in the sales and account histories. Options are:

  • No - retain the sales and account histories with reference to the old debtor number
  • Yes - update your history files with the new debtor number. This effectively removes any trace of the old debtor number.
  1. Select FILE | START.

Micronet processes the requested debtor change.
