Fund code dilemma

["Kelleher, Sue" <skelleher@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I am having a crisis late on this Friday afternoon.  We want to redo all of
our fund codes.  I have researched thru the manual (and talked to the
helpdesk), but still have some questions.  What are you supposed to do with
order records that are fully paid and/or are no longer taking payments
(either they are cancelled or the record has 50 paid fields)?  

 

The manual states that records that use codes that have been deleted from a
table have "bad code".  I don't see why you should have to change the codes
in those records that are not going to see future use, but the manual
clearly says that you can't delete a fund code if it is used "anywhere in
the system."  

 

Is my only alternative to archive those records?  That means we won't have
access to them for reports, statistics, etc. doesn't it?

 

Help, I hope I am just over thinking this situation and that there is a
simple solution.
