Change the Unit Number of a Unit Record

To change the unit number of a unit record, use the Key Conversions utility.

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, your company manages your database backup. If your company has a cloud-based deployment of Vantagepoint, coordinate with Deltek about your database backup.

To change the number of a unit record:

1. In the Navigation pane, select Utilities > Key Conversions > Units.
2. On the Change Number tab of the Key Conversions form, click + Add Unit below the grid.
3. In the Existing Unit Number column in the new row, enter or select the existing unit number.
4. In the New Unit Number column, enter the new unit number.
5. To change other unit numbers, repeat steps 3 and 4.
6. Select one of the following actions:
   • To make the change immediately, click Run.
   • To schedule the change process to run at a later time, click Schedule and complete the fields on the Schedule dialog box. The change takes effect after the process is completed.
   Other applications, and any transactions that reference the affected records, are updated automatically.
