# Merging a Subcategory

Go to **CAS** --> **Management** --> **Inventory** -> **Modify Inventory**

The system has the ability to merge attributes and classifications. This is useful once the domain has been in use for a while and interchangeable ones have been created. An example being color - over time multiple variation on "Green" are created "Lime", "Dark Green", "Avocado"  and the user wants to consolidate all as "Green" as there isn't a business reason to identify them separately. 

In order to merge Sub Categories with the another, access **CAS** --> **Management** --> **Inventory** -> **Modify Inventory** and select Sub-Category and then select the Sub-Category that you want the other to merge into (meaning the other sub category become the one you select) and the following screen will be displayed.
