Hello,
I have a client who has implemented Inventory years ago, and tracked lot info external to Navision. They are now ready to utilize Navision for their Lot Tracking needs. I have suggested what MBS suggests: create new item records turning on Item Tracking, migrate inventory levels, block old Items.
They are opposed to handling the situation like this. They would like to (if possible) eliminate the need to create all new records as they have trend analysis with the existing history, etc.. for thier existing items. Also the amount of history would add DAYS onto the migration process if we approached it that way.
Anyone accomplish this a different way?
Thank you in advance for any information you can provide.

Here is what we have done for clients who have requested this. Create two physical journals batches one to remove everything from inventory for that item so quantity on hand is zero. Then run adjust cost. and post it to gl. Then through report set the item tracking on item card, so you don't validate and get the error. Then run the second physical inventory with serial/lot info to bring inventory back into the system.

Have you had anyone go the opposite direction? Lot tracking to Not Lot Tracked? You suppose you'd perform the same procedure only reverse?
Thank you again.

So you suggest running the "calculate" physical inventory process to reload inventory values? I was going to export the quantities to a text file and re-import them into the Item Journal to make a positive adjustment. Wouldn't that work similarly?
Thank you VERY much for the info!
