Change multiple item categories

Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Hi,

I'm after some guidance on what would be the best way to go about changing the category of multiple items at one time. I'll assume there is a query of some sort that could help me out but I have little to no experience with queries in RMS/SQL specifically (I do have some experience with MySQL databases though).

A nod in the right direction would be much appreciated, cheers!

    Hi,

    If you are not familiar with SQL commands/scripts, I strongly recommend you seek a professional’s help.

    Hi,

    If you want to change category for multiple items in batch, then try the below script

    UPDATE item

    SET categoryid='B'

    WHERE categoryid='A' AND itemlookupcode IN ( 'code1', 'code2', 'code3' )

    Above script will change the category from 'A' to 'B' only for item codes  ( 'code1', 'code2', 'code3' )

    retail realm utility has a wizard which can enable you change bulk item properties at once or else you can use a query  like

    update item set categoryid='X' where itemid='Y'
