We use prefixes on our Stock Items to indicate the condition of products. I’m trying to use the LEFT function on the ARTran.InventoryID field in a GI to return the first 3 characters of the InventoryID but it is instead returning 3 numbers.
I’ve tried using all the conversion functions and they all return a string of numbers from the ARTran.InventoryID field.
Any suggestions?

Perhaps it’s not clear from all the posts above. InventoryID is a numerical value being the unique id assigned to the InventoryItem table for each row added to that table (ie. each Item you add to the system). When you display this value in a GI, Acumatica conveniently maps this to the actual alphanumeric code value that you see in the application. This is all well and good and a timesaver until you want to apply functions to the auto-mapped value, which don’t work as expected.
In these cases you need to fetch the InventoryCD value from InventoryItem (as
