Info

You cannot actually merge stock codes. The following is the closest process so that you can keep your stock history.

 

If there is no history, deactive the old stock code, and enter the new stock code into the Superseded By field on the Details tab.

The following outlines the steps to take:

Deactivate the old stock code (untick the Active box on the top right of the Stock header field) and select the Details tab. Record the new stock code in the Superseded By field.
