change customer - previous job costing

I need to change my customer jobs heirarchy.  What will this do to past job-costing data?  ie:

* cust

   *cust A

      * cust A contract 1

          *term 1

          *term 2

      *cust A contract 2

           *term 1

           *term 2

 

I need "cust A contract 2" to be under "cust."  Also, "cust A" shouldn't even be there (I can worry about that later).  So, if I have data entered from 2020/2021/2022 under the path "cust/cust A/cust A contract 2", when I change the "contract 2" to be under "cust," will my past data change also?  Or will I need to either change the data in past records (mostly checks written), or choose to run 2 reports, one for the old path and one for the new path ("cust/cust A contract 2")?

change customer - previous job costing

Good evening, @DonnaKay1

 

It's great to see a new face here in the Community. Allow me to give you some information on your question about customers. 

 

The data will change on reports because the information shows under a different customer. This can also break connection between some transaction if it's not all under just the one customer. 

 

If you do decide to take this route, I recommend double checking customer balances, A/R reports, and reconciliation afterward. 

 

I hope this helps answer your question. I'm only a post away if you have any other questions. Have a great day!
