In ax finance and operations there is a functionality for renaming the primary key field from  front end.
For example for Vendor account.
Go to all vendor account form.


Go to "Options" tab.
Click on "Recordinfo".

A new side window will open.


Click on rename. A new rename window will open.
Enter the account number you want the record to be updated as. Here i am using "US-1001".
Then click ok. The system will prompt to confirm. Click "Yes".

The system will update the record.
You can see that in the form. And all the related transactions will be updated as well.


To check that you can check with the "Transactions".
To check that go to "Vendor" tab and click on "Transaction".

New form with the transaction list will open for the Vendor.
