Re: Changing Item Type

If you haven't done any operations on the items, you can use phpMyAdmin and load your database and go into X_stock_master (where X_ is the company table prefix, if any).
Find the items you want to change. Click the pencil in front and change the letter B to M in the field mb_flag.
After you have done that enter FA and check that the GL accounts for the changed items are correctly set.

You should now be able to create BOM and work orders for the items.

Re: Changing Item Type

Is it possible to make Item Type and Units of Measure editable without going into phpMyAdmin?

Re: Changing Item Type

No, this should not be changed even by phpmyadmin. When you change it uom on already issued invoices will change also. Create new item with another uom instead.
