2613454 - Not Possible to Modify the ID of a Supplier in SAP Business ByDesign

When trying to modify the ID of an existing supplier in the system, the Supplier ID field is grayed out and the ID cannot be modified.

SAP Business ByDesign

1. Go to Supplier Base work center.
2. Select the Suppliers view.
3. Show All Suppliers.
4. Find ABC (ABC represents the ID of the relevant Supplier).
5. Click Edit - General.

The Supplier ID field is grayed out and therefore the ID cannot be modified.

This is expected system behaviour. Once a new Supplier is saved, the ID cannot be modified.

The Supplier created with the wrong ID needs to be marked as obsolete and then a new Supplier has to be created with the correct ID. To mark the Supplier as obsolete, perform the below steps:

1. Go to Supplier Base work center.
2. Select the Suppliers view.
3. Show All Suppliers.
4. Find ABC (ABC represents the ID of the relevant Supplier).
5. Click Change Status.
6. Select Obsolete from the drop-down menu.
7. Click Save.

Then, create the Supplier again with the correct ID.
