Hi,
Question - Will this affect draw numbers? When they combine the variants, will
my draw numbers cease to exist? I will have to find all of my variants and pull
them??? I have thousands of drawers. Nightmare! This is a terrible idea.
Thank you,
Jill

I don’t know what a draw number is for you, but they are not combining lots in
stores. If you had both variants, you will just end up with the same two lots
with only your own Comments or Remarks to distinguish them.

I have my drawer number in the remarks to locate the item. So I guess I will
be OK with locating the item? I hope!
thank you,

Remarks and Comments won't be changed.

Only item number (as in 3747a and 3747b will change to 3747) and item description
(as no reference to connections between studs).

Even in the heads 3626xxxAAAA, the AAAA digits will stay the same.

Only the vented stud heads 28621xxAAAA will have new AAAA digits because they
will be changed to 3626xxxAAAA format.

I hope so too! I made the same assumption when I first read the email from BL,
so I am guessing we are not alone.

I do not look forward to fixing the mess this is going to create in my store
inventory.

Thanks,
~Jen
