In my state we use the Course number for internal course codes and our state pulls from the Alt ID. These numbers do not have to match. You can change the Alt ID at anytime to align with what the state pulls. We use the Course number to distinguish between different course types. So course 20022 and 20022OL might be the same course with the same Alt ID for the state to read. But the 20022OL would be an online course.
There is a tool to change the Course number, but I would use it very sparingly because it can have unintended consequences. If you have to change it for current year courses, try to change only what you have to, like the Alt ID or State Course Code Override. If you don't have to change it for the current year, I would create a new version of the course for next year with the updated numbers.
