The utility is located under Inventory Management, Utilities and is called Delete and Change Items.

You can also merge item information by changing an item code to an existing code. Before using this utility, back up all data files.

Select Inventory Management Utilities menu > Delete and Change Items.

Click the Change tab.

In the Starting Item Code and Ending Item Code fields, enter or select a range of item codes to delete. You can also enter the wildcard character (*) to select all matching item codes. For more information, see Delete and Change Items - Fields.

In the New Item Code field, perform one of the following:

Enter the new item code for the selected items.

Enter an existing item code to merge item information with the selected item.

Click the Resolve Wildcards button to list each item code, either in the selected range or selected by wildcards, on a separate line.

Click the Print button. In the Delete and Change Items Listing window, click Print. You must print and clear the listing before you can change or merge another item.

Perform one of the following:

Click Proceed to begin item change or merge.

The item code is changed or merged.

Hi Shelly,

Thank you for your reply.  However, if I would like to merge two item numbers that are not next to each other, how would I do so?  For example, let's say I have item numbers 10001, 10002, and 10003.  I want to merge item numbers 10001 and 10003.  Then I put in 10001 as the starting item number, 10003 as the ending, and put in 10001 as the new.  However, if I do this, this merges 10002 as 10001 as well?  Please advise?  Thank you!

You would enter both your Starting and Ending Item Code as 10001.

You would enter New Item Code would be 10003.

This would result in 10001 being merged into 10003.

Hope that helps!

Shelley

Ah I see, that makes sense!  Thank you!
