PDW Merge Utility Overview

Use the PDW File Merge Utility to join two or more product records and their data elements into one record in the Product Data Warehouse (PDW) Catalog. You can use the Merge Utility when a product is imported twice but into separate PDW records. You can also run a purge to remove the duplicate file.

For example, if two records for the same widget are created due to an incorrect import, use the Merge Utility to combine these two records into one, combining any duplicate information and including all data elements.

The Merge Utility provides a search function, which you can use to find the product records to merge by searching product descriptions.

Use the PDW Product Merge Report to search for matching line items, view and edit merge details, and print merge reports.
