How To Change Entity IDs in 10X Without Affecting System Integrity
In 10X, you can change the visible IDs for customers, items, and vendors without altering the underlying system-assigned foreign key. These original keys remain fixed in the background to preserve data consistency and history. Any ID changes made on the interface level are logged in the audit trail, ensuring full traceability while keeping the backend stable.
