Renumbering a part is sometimes necessary when manufacturers change a part number or when vendors change to a new distributor. When a part is renumbered, existing requisitions and history records are updated to reflect the new part number. If you end up reusing the old part number for a different part, you may want to delete the transaction history for the original part beforehand, so it's not mistaken as history for the new part.
