Change the Project Number of a Project

To change an existing project number, use the Key Conversions utility for projects. Changing the project number in this utility updates the project record in the Projects hub, as well as any associated details and transactions.

Warning: 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.

To change an existing project number:

  1. In the Navigation pane, select Utilities > Key Conversions > Projects.
  2. On the Change Number tab of the Projects form, click + Add Project below the grid.
  3. In the Existing Project column in the new row, enter or select the existing project number.
  4. In the New Project column, enter the new project number.
  5. To change other project 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.
