What is it doing?
When a new purchase item is added to the system, there is often a need to merge this item with an already existing inventory item. The system identifies if a new item that was added is similar to an existing item, and then suggests merge options to you.
You can review these suggested merge options and decide whether to add the new item as an additional purchase option to an existing one or keep it as a separate item.
why should I use it?
First, it ensures reporting accuracy. Then it prevents duplicate items, helps organize your inventory, and maintains system efficiency.

1. Go to "Inventory items".

4. Click on "Merge to existing".
5. Now select the option that you prefer to merge, and click on "Select".
