Last Updated:  3/27/2025

The Combine option in Bravo allows you to bundle multiple items together and track them with a single inventory number. This article will walk you through the Combine Inventory option in Bravo.

For information about how to split an item, see the article Split Items.

For information about how to edit an item, see the article Adjust Item Product Information.

To learn how to price items, click How to Pricing.

 Combining items results in the following changes:

  • One item becomes the primary item, and the Status of all other items changes to DEFUNCT.
  • Total Cost of all items combined becomes the Cost of the primary item.
  • Total MSRP of all items combined becomes the MSRP of the primary item.
  • Total Price of all items combined becomes the Price of the primary item.
  • Precious metals and stones from jewelry items will all be added to the primary item. 

Instructions

  • From Inventory, select Combine from the side menu. 
  • You do not need to have any items selected to choose this option:
