Change Organization Grouping For Item Attributes
Use the Change Organization Grouping for Item Attributes scheduled process to change the reference or definition organization. This process updates the item attributes for all items in the organization after changes to the reference or definition organization.
The scheduled process validates the item changes and generates a report or you can save the item changes.
When to Use
Use this process to:
- Change to the definition organization associated with a reference organization to a different definition organization. This realigns the item data for the organization to point to the newly associated definition organization.
- Convert a definition organization to a reference organization. The new reference organization must be associated with another definition organization. This realigns the item data for the organization to point to the newly associated definition organization.
- Convert a reference organization to a definition organization. This realigns the item data for the organization to point to itself.
