        If you are not the owner of a scheduled report, Zoho recently removed the capability to see each scheduled report.

        Is there a work around for merging items? We currently have three names for one item, all have had a transaction associated so there is no deleting (just deactivating, which doesn't really help. It still appears so people are continuing to use it).

It would be nice to merge into one item and be able to track inventory. Let me know if this is possible.
