In The Edge, you can mass move merchandise from one category to another.  This works for items of all pricing methods, types, and statuses.  

Before you begin:

• Backup The Edge database.
• Plan the mass move of items carefully according to the category decisions made previously.
• Note that moving inventory items CANNOT be undone. You may choose to move a selection of items again, but the former item numbers are deleted and will never be re-used.
• Note that you must reprint the new tags for the items immediately after moving the items, so there is no trouble looking up the merchandise with the new item numbers. 

To move items en masse:

1. Go to Inventory > Items > Find.
2. Specify the criteria necessary to find the selection of items to move into a particular category.  It might be as simple as filtering to the category you ultimately wish to remove.
3. On the Type & Status tab, check each of the types and statuses that should be moved.
4. Select OK to view see the results.
   
   NOTE:  When filtering for items to move, be sure to include all types and status so no sold, layaway, etc. items are left behind.
    
5. From the resulting list, right click and select Show Checkboxes.  
6. Check the items you want to move (if appropriate, select Check All).
7. Select Supervisor > Move Items to a New Category.  
8. Select the new category. 
9. Select OK.  You will prompted to confirm.
10. Confirm the operation.  You will be reminded to retag the items.
11. Select OK.

NOTE:  Item numbers contain the category ID.  Old item numbers will be deleted and will never be reused.  Should you attempt to find an item by an old number, you will be alerted the item has been moved and redirected to the new item number.  New numbers will be assigned starting from the next available number in the destination category.
