How does Xero treat an inventory item code when attempting to perform a bulk edit?

In Xero, inventory item codes are treated as non-editable fields during a bulk edit process. This means that while other aspects of inventory items, like descriptions or prices, can be modified in bulk, the item code itself remains fixed. The rationale behind this approach is to maintain data integrity and consistency within the inventory. Item codes often serve as unique identifiers for products, and altering them en masse could lead to confusion, discrepancies, or errors in tracking inventory items.

Thus, during bulk edits, users cannot change the inventory item code, which ensures that each item retains its designated identity throughout the system. This approach is crucial for accurate reporting, inventory management, and ensuring that transactions linked to those inventory items remain coherent.
