How to Merge Suppliers

The Merge Suppliers utility lets you combine one supplier into another. This updates all products from the old supplier to now be listed under the new supplier. This can be handy if you've inadvertently created a duplicate supplier with stock linked to it.

Make sure to back up your data before proceeding with the following steps, as this process cannot be undone.

1. Click on the Utilities menu at the top of Retailer.
2. Select Merge Suppliers from the list.
3. Select Old Supplier from the Drop down box. This is the old or incorrect supplier you want to merge into the correct one.
4. Select New Supplier form the Drop down box. This is the correct supplier you wish to remain and contain all data.
5. Press OK.
