Q:
You mentioned at one point that if you changed status of an item. It would prompt you to change all which would have changed the previous fin. statements.
In order to change current year only, you would need to go back to each entry to change it.
Would it work if you made a change from January 1, and when the prompt came up to change all future entries, it would only affect the current year?
A:
At today, there is the past and there is future, and when you merge your concern about the past is all of the past, and for the future, for all of the future. The day when the past ends and the future starts is today, the day you are making the merge. Anything already entered will be affected by your choices.
At today, when you merge an Item, it’s going to prompt you about the past, and you have to make a choice, and about the future, and again, you have to make a choice.
Load the sample file, or set up two Inventory Parts and enter a few transactions and try merging them to see what happens. Add another Item, make some more entries, and try a different merge option.
Once you get how Merging works, it works the same way for Customers, Accounts and Items.
It's more dangerous for Items, as Weighted Average Cost can be affected with strange consequences that can't be undone without a real struggle. The same goes for Customers and Accounts, but they don't have the weighted averaging to worry about.
