      <Paragraph>You can change an item's
		default data by selecting a different item type or item group, or both, for the
		item. You can do this only if the item is not yet in use.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph>If you change the item
		type/item group combination of an item, the following message appears:</Paragraph>
      <Formula space-and-orientation="indented-estimated">
         <Paragraph>Item type/item group combination has changed. Re-read default item data
for the new combination and delete existing sub-entities?
</Paragraph>
      </Formula>
      <List>
         <ListItem>If you click <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tc/domains/yesno#yes" role="option">Yes</GUIRef>, LN deletes all existing
		  sub-entities of the item and creates new sub-entities according to the new
		  default values of the item type/item group combination defined in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tc/ibd/tcibd0502m000" role="session">Items - General Defaults (tcibd0502m000)</GUIRef> session. Note that if the item production
		  data is deleted, the BOM and routing are deleted as well.</ListItem>
         <ListItem>If you click <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tc/domains/yesno#no" role="option">No</GUIRef>, no
		  sub-entity will be deleted and no new sub-entities will be created.</ListItem>
      </List>
      <Paragraph>The item's sub-entities
		consist of the item data that is specific for the LN packages. For
		example, item sub-entities are the item sales data, the item production data,
		and the item warehousing data.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph>LN uses the selected check boxes of the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tc/com/tccom0100s000" role="session">Implemented Software Components (tccom0100s000)</GUIRef> session to detect whether item
		sub-entity data can exist. For example, if the Warehousing check box is cleared
		in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tc/com/tccom0100s000" role="session">Implemented Software Components (tccom0100s000)</GUIRef> session, LN does not delete item
		warehousing data or create new item warehousing data.</Paragraph>

      <Paragraph>LN deletes the data when you save the changed

		change or delete any item data or item sub-entity data.</Paragraph>
