Copy an Item

Inventory Overview | About Item Types

Sometimes the quickest way to create a new item in inventory is to copy an existing similar item.

1. In your item list, select the item you want to copy.

2. From the I Want To menu, select Copy.

Information from the copied item record is pasted into a new item record.

- The following fields are not copied to the new item: On-Hand Qty, UPC, Alternate Lookup, and the Unorderable flag.

- The Order Cost (unless zero) from the copied item is populated to the Average Unit Cost of the new item. The order cost of the new item is reset to zero. (Pro) If you have alternate vendors with different order costs, those values are left unchanged.

3. Enter new values into these fields and edit other item fields, as appropriate for the new item. At lest one of Department, Description 1, Attribute, or Size must be changed to avoid creating a duplicate item.

4. Click S ave.
