    If you've been using the equipment module, then the costs are already associated with the existing number structure so you cannot change those numbers yourself. There are equipment types that you can set up to categorize them.
    I recommend using a user def field to cross reference the old dos equipment numbers.

    If changing the equipment numbers in Sage is a priority, then reach our to your Sage 100 Certified consultant who may be able to perform this task for you behind the scenes for a fee. It would involve changing all the records that are attached to the existing pieces of equipment including AP and GL records.

    Warning: you should never attempt to modify the tables yourself, it could corrupt your data.
