You define extended pickup groups on a system-wide basis. The system cannot support both simple and flexible extended pickup groups at the same time. You can, however, change your extended pickup groups from one type to another.
From simple to flexible
If you want to change all extended pickup groups from simple to flexible, you can easily make the change. See Creating flexible extended pickup groups. The system automatically populates the Extended Group Number field on the Pickup Group screen for all pickup groups that are part of an extended pickup group.
From flexible to simple
The process is more complex to change all extended pickup groups from flexible to simple. Before you can change the extended pickup group from flexible to simple, you must first delete all of the individual pickup groups from all of the extended pickup groups. Then you can change the extended pickup group from flexible to simple (see Enabling simple extended pickup groups). After that step, you must re-administer all of the extended pickup groups again.
