The routine in the toolbox is capable of merging 2 inventory items at a time. Below is the suggested procedure.

1. It is **advisable** to do a backup with your **Live Data** before running this routine or you can use your training data to test it first.

2. Go to Setup Tools -> Utilities -> Toolbox

3. A red pop up window will appear about **"Warning - No Backup Detected"**, if you are using  your training data you can click **"OK"** button

4. For warning  message select **"Yes"** to proceed
