The Merge Items lets you merge the base information of an item into another item. To perform a merge:

·       Both the items must exist in the FASTER Web.

·       Both the items can belong to the same storeroom or different storeroom.

You can merge an item with another item in case there is a new vendor for an existing item and has a different vendor item number, when the asset is disposed, or when the item is made obsolete. However, among the three items - parts, fuel, and fluid, the fuel items cannot be merged with another fuel item. For example, diesel cannot be merged with ethanol.

Note: The FASTER Web does not display the details of the item that is merged into another item.
