Cloning Items

Cloning an item can save data entry time for items that are nearly identical (eg, clothing in different sizes) or when you want to sell identical items differently (eg within different lots/baskets).

Silent Items entered with a quantity >1 will share the same item number but have separate bid sheets generated for each.

If you would like some or all of the duplicate items to have separate item numbers (so they can be assigned to different tables and/or included in a lot with other items) you can Clone the original item.

Note:  Cloning does not work with Lots (Items that have been combined into a single package with a single item number)
