Item Merging

When you go to delete an item, you will be presented with a warning and an option. The warning indicates the data that will be deleted with the item. The option is to replace that item with another item instead of deleting all the data.

A good use case for merging items is when you have duplicate, misspelled items. In this case, find the incorrect item and delete it. On the delete confirmation screen, find the correct item to replace it, searching by name or reference number.

After you have selected a replacement item, the warning will disappear and the "Delete" button will change into a "Replace" button. When you replace an item, no data is deleted except for the duplicate item.

Merging items works for inventory items and card items alike. The warnings are different, as deleting inventory items has more impact on cases and recorded usage.

Inventory items can only be replaced by inventory items, and card items can only be replaced by card items.
