The CC00/Recode/Merge folder initializes the parameters for Special Products in the Recode/Merge (RM) system, specifically in Enter Products to Recode/Merge (RM81).

The following list defines every field on the Recode/Merge folder:

• Start Range - defines the start of the range used by the 'Auto Merge Special Products' option in RM81. The Start Range must follow the 'Special Product Mask' defined in CC00/Inventory Control.

• End of Range - defines the end of the range used by the 'Auto Merge Special Products' option in RM81. The End of Range must follow the 'Special Product Mask' defined in CC00/Inventory Control.

• Merge to Code - enter or select from the query Product code to which all Special Products are recoded, from the Start Range to the End of Range.
  • The Product code must already exist in the system.

  • The first characters of the Product code must equal the leading characters of the 'Special Product Mask' defined in CC00/Inventory Control.

  Note: the 'Merge to Code' can include the Commodity Code for the Products being recoded. In this case, the 'Merge to Code' is entered as follows:

  • 'ZZCCCC'
    • The leading 'ZZ' is from the Special Product Mask field defined in CC00/Inventory Control.

    • The 'CCCC' will be replaced by the Commodity Code of the Special Product being recoded.

    • For example, Special Product code ZZ01234, with an assigned Commodity Code of 1012 will be recoded in the RM module to ZZ1012.

  • 'SPECIALCC'
    • The leading 'SPECIAL' is from the Special Product Mask field defined in CC00/Inventory Control.

    • The 'CC' will be replaced by the Product Line associated with the Special Product being recoded.

    • For example, Special Product code SPECIAL12345, with an assigned Commodity Code of FLBA will be recoded in the RM module to SPECIALFL.
