    Copy Product or Renaming Prod Code

    Hi, My supplier began appending a letter onto the end of their product code for new product lines. What was once 1234 could now become 1234D. In the past I ignored the "D" because it was meaningless to me, however they decided to assign a product code of 1234D when there is already a product with the 1234 code. Obviously having to product codes of 1234 won't work.

    So since their part numbering scheme is already not well thought out I expect that this will happen in the future. I have numerous products that I would like to append the "D" onto so I can avoid this situation in the future.

    Is there any function to *easily* do this? A "rename" feature, or copy function? Besides the prod code it would need to update the attributes and, if possible the image names. Any easy way out?

    Here is an easy way out:

    http://www.southbound.com/ids/produc.../prodcopy.html

    also available on Mivacentral.com

    You could also use Miva's product export and import utilities and edit/copy using a spreadsheet or text editor.

      Hi Scott,

      Does prodcopy also copy the custom product fields?

        Hi Bill,

        Product Copy does not currently copy the values of the Custom Fields. This feature is at the top of the list in the road map for this module.

        Regards,

        Scott

            With the impending release of Miva 9, as well as other projects before the holidays updates to all my modules are delayed.

            When implemented, the custom field values will be copied.

            Thanks.

              Take a look at this one that I use. It says it does custom fields but note that it does NOT copy anything in the image machine or related products. Somewhat limited but could fit your needs. However, YMMV.
