How to Merge Parts

Find and Select Duplicate Parts

1. Run the Duplicate Parts Report under My Reports > Inventory to identify potential duplicates.
2. Navigate to Inventory > Parts
3. Select a part and choose Action > Merge to open the Part Merge menu. Then, select a second part to merge in the right column. To view recommended duplicates, select the drop-down to the left of the field. Recommendations are based on similar descriptions, part types, classes, MFR Part IDs, and vendor part IDs.‍
4. Alternatively, use Batch Edit to select two parts, then click Action > Merge.

Choose Primary Part and Merge

1. Select the Primary Record—this Part ID will remain, while the other is removed.
2. Pick which details to keep from each record.
3. Click OK to complete the merge.

Stock Information Alert: If the non-primary part has stock, a notification will appear. Users should adjust stock levels before merging to ensure accuracy.
