▪Move – from one object to another.
▪Merge – move from one object to another, and change the original object’s status to Cancel. It will also add a comment of See Job #*** in the Comment grid of the cancelled object.
|
Everything must be selected to enable the Merge button. |
▪Stock, comments (including emails with attachments) and labour can be moved or merged.
▪Select all records or only some to move. Select all to merge all objects.
▪In order to perform a merge and cancel the original object, all stock, comments and labour must be selected from the original source for that object to move to a status of Cancel.

The following applies to both Copy and Move/Merge functions:
▪stock pricing will also copy over to the destination object. The stock price can then be recalculated if desired. If the source is from a template, hover over the price fields, which will present a snapshot of the pricing rules used to display that figure
▪a yellow background colour on a copied stock line indicates a promotion. Hovering over the price indicates which promotion is being applied.
