To reformat the length, delimiter, or delimiter position for your unit numbers, use the Key Format utility for unit numbers.
Warning: If your company uses an on-premises deployment of
Vantagepoint, Deltek strongly recommends that you create a backup copy of your database before running the utility. There is no way to undo this process without a backup database.
If your company has an on-premises deployment of

Vantagepoint, coordinate with Deltek about your database backup.
