When you are using wildcards to renumber accounts, use the wildcard to replace, but not remove, a character. For example, if the starting and ending numbers are 1A*** and the new number is 1B***, all numbers starting with 1A will then begin with 1B; however, if the starting and ending numbers entered are 1A*** and the new vendor number entered is 1***, the number will remain 1A**. In this example, the last asterisk (*) drops off, but the letter A is not omitted because the wildcard indicates that all numbers in this range remain the same.
For more information, see Vendor Numbering Methods.
