Item code and PO # field length

Question

So I was asked to increase the size of the item code and PO# fields. I know from previous question you can't change the standard out of the box fields you would need to create a UDF. 
 However, I don't see how you can swap those standard fields for the UDF I would think that "would mess up something up" for a lack of better terms. 
 
 Help!!.. Thanks as always ahead of time

ItemCode can be expanded (15 to 30 characters), but be VERY CAREFUL with this. There is no undo, and it affects many things (especially printed forms / reports). Once enabled, you cannot turn it off. Be sure to test (in a test company code) before changing this in your Live company code(s). 
 
 PO# in the PO module: there is an enhancement . (A UDF cannot replace a key field). 
 Customer PO#: it's just a text field... just add a UDF and swap it out wherever you want (panels, forms, lookups...).
