Custom SKU Conversion (RCIN)

Introduction

Running a Custom SKU Conversion

Introduction

Always have a current backup available before running Change Item SKU Number (RCIN).  

This procedure explains how to use RCIN to

• prefix existing SKUs with a character in order to change the SKUs

• run a SKU conversion using a file that contains the old and new SKU (usually an Epicor representative assists you with this process)

RCIN for Windows is "batch" based, meaning that you add a list of old/new SKUs to a batch. You also display the pending old/new SKUs by batch, and you Finalize by batch.

Important: RCIN doesn’t modify QuickFind.
