📦 Overview
The Product Merge utility (Utility → Advance Utility → Product Merge) combines the definition and all transactions of a source product into a target (original) product. This is useful for removing duplicate or incorrect products.
⚠️ Important Warning
After merging, all transactions of the source product are transferred to the original product. The original state of the source product cannot be restored. Create a fresh backup before proceeding.
🔧 Steps to Merge Products
- Navigate to Utility → Advance Utility → Product Merge.
- In the Wrong Product field, select the product you want to merge (the duplicate or incorrect product).
- In the Original Product field, select the product that will retain the combined data.
- Optional: Check Delete Wrong if you want the source product removed after the merge.
- Optional: Check Merge Opening Balance to add the source product’s opening balance to the original product’s balance.
- Click Merge and confirm the operation.
🗂 What Happens After Merging
- All sales, purchase, inventory, and accounting transactions of the source product are moved to the original product.
- If Delete Wrong is selected, the source product is permanently deleted.
- If Merge Opening Balance is selected, the opening balances are summed, changing the original product’s balance.
💾 Backup Recommendation
Because the process cannot be undone, export your data or create a database backup before using the merge function.
