-We had to change the part number design, so now any new part numbers for this type of product will under the "new" part numbers
-But accidentally created a new parent instead of renaming the old one
-So now we have two parents with corresponding children, but really they are the same parent
-we would like to put all the children under one parent if it is possible!

A good strategy would be the one that you guys have used in order to preserve historical documents, and do an inventory adjustment to decrement to 0 the old parts and increment to what is the current physical count.
