How to Merge and Delete City/Brand/Category or Specification Master in ecount Utility

Last updated Jun 23, 2026

🔧 Overview

The Utility → Advance Utility → City/Brand/Category (or any Specification Master) Merge function consolidates the transactions and definitions of one master record into another. It can also delete the source master after merging.

⚠️ Important Warning

After merging, all transactions of the source master are transferred to the original master. The original state of the source cannot be recovered. Create a fresh backup before using this option.

📋 Step‑by‑Step Procedure

  1. Select the source master (the wrong City/Brand/Category or Specification Master) from the list. All its transactions will be moved.
  2. Select the original master (the correct City/Brand/Category or Specification Master) from the list. The source transactions will be merged into this master.
  3. Delete source (optional): Choose Yes if the source master is no longer needed. The system will delete it after the merge.
  4. Merge opening balance (optional): Enable this option to add the source's opening balance to the original master’s opening balance. The original master’s balance will be updated accordingly.

đź’ˇ Tips

  • Always back up your database before performing a merge.
  • Verify that the correct original master is selected to avoid data loss.
  • Use the “Merge Opening Balance” option only when the opening balances should be combined.
