Introduction
Sometimes you will find that you have duplicate items in your venue's list of items. This can throw off your consumption and variance because they exist as two separate items in the system.
In this case, you'll want to merge the items into one. By merging them, it combines the current stock count, and all historical information (previous inventories, invoices etc).
Note: You can only merge items that have the same measurement. For example, both items would need to be 750ml to merge.

Select all items to merge in the table by clicking the checkboxes beside them

Item Details
A screen displays showing the output item on the left, and the two items to be merged on the right-hand side. You can toggle between the two items, and click the paste button beside a field to have it transfer over to the output item.
