Are the two kanjis 箇所 and 個所 interchangeable?

Question

Our customer uses 箇所 but my manager uses 個所 when emailing project status. Are both kanji interchangeable?

The context of usage in a sentence is:

一箇所変更しました。

A portion (of the code/software) was changed.

个 is not usual in Japanese. In some cases it also shows up as ケ or カ or ヵ. They are not always interchangeable: see Wikipedia.

They are interchangeable when counting, but for example 危険箇所 is okay but 危険個所 is not, so they are not 100 percent interchangeable.
