Efficiently managing product information is crucial for businesses looking to streamline their inventory processes. Bulk editing provides a powerful solution for making simultaneous updates across multiple product entries, saving time and reducing manual workload.

Accessing Bulk Edit Functionality

To begin bulk editing products, you'll need a senior user role with appropriate permissions. Navigate to the Products menu and use the search and filter options to locate the specific products you want to update.

Bulk Edit Process

1. Open the Products search in the Products menu
2. Filter and search for desired products
3. Choose one of two editing methods:
   • Click "Edit All" to update all filtered products
   • Select multiple products by holding a single click and then select "Edit Selection"

Updating Product Attributes

Once in the bulk edit interface, you'll see a list of editable attributes. Enter new values in the relevant fields for the products you're updating. A security feature requires you to confirm the number of products being modified, preventing accidental mass updates.

Background Processing and Tracking

The bulk edit runs in the background, with a timeline entry generated upon completion. This entry includes a link to view the edited products, allowing you to:

• Review recent changes
• Make further amendments
• Revert to original values if needed

Additional Bulk Update Capabilities

Beyond general product attributes, you can also use similar bulk update methods for:

• Price amendments - How to update Product Base Prices in bulk 
• Order picking - Advanced Order Picking Overview 
• Batch invoicing - Doing an invoice run in Merchanter 

Pro Tip: Always double-check your filters and selected products before executing a bulk update to ensure accuracy.
