Item Code Update Report (RICU)

Use the Item Code Update Report (RICU) to change one or more fields in Inventory Maintenance (IMU) for a range of items. In RICU you'll specify the new value for the field and then indicate the range of items in IMU that should change to the new value. If you run RICU directly (rather than from an end-of-day queue) the system will log the fields being changed and the selection criteria to the system's Miscellaneous Log in the SHOWLOG function in Network Access. The changes will also be recorded to the Inventory Maintenance Changes Viewer.

Epicor recommends you have a current backup before running RICU.

Be very careful when filling in the RICU screens. Review the From / To ranges to ensure that you are updating only the items that you want to change. If you aren't sure what items are included in a particular From / To range, run an inventory report first to check (such as the Item Status Report (RIS), Stock Status report type).

Always have a successful backup tape available before running RICU.
