 Can wildcard characters be used to renumber accounts?

Yes. When using wildcards to renumber accounts, the wildcard is used 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 customer number entered is 1***, the numbers 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.

 Example

The starting item code is AA-**********, Ending Item Code is AA-*********, and the New Item Code is BB-*********.

 

Starting Item Code	Ending Item Code	New Item Code
AA-2DR-CABINET	AA-2DR-CABINET	BB-2DR-CABINET
AA-3DR-CABINET	AA-3DR-CABINET	AA-2DR-CABINET
AA-4DR-CABINET	AA-4DR-CABINET	AA-2DR-CABINET
