I've been using MYOB for a few years now and I have just encountered this issue.
This is frustrating for me mainly because the other programs I have synced to MYOB (e.g. my online store) interpret codes with no associated stock quantity (items that I don't track inventory for) as being out of stock, which is causing issues. So, of course, I thought I would just go and enable inventory tracking, which as I now know is not as simple as it would seem.
I would definitely like the ability to merge item codes. I think the others in this thread have articulated a lot of good reasons for this, but for me, the two main benefits would be:
- Being able to create a new item code with inventory tracking enabled and then combine with the old item code, and then be able to select which attributes/settings to keep, such as tracked inventory
- as a bonus, clean up our huge list of 'ZZ' junk items codes that have accumulated over our 10+ years of maintaining a MYOB company file.
Without the ability to merge items I imagine my list of ZZ junk codes will simply keep growing, and in the long term, I will likely have to look at moving to another solution. I notice that a lot of other cloud accounting systems are beginning to suggest that people use a separate system for inventory and I feel as if I am starting to understand why.
