How do I merge customers in AR?

In the application, you can use the "Change #" option in the customer record to update the customer record to match that of the customer you wish to merge it into. 

For example, if I have customer 999 and want to merge it into customer 012815, I would open customer and pull up customer # 999.  I would then click "Change #" in the top toolbar. I would leave 999 as the old customer and enter in the 012815 customer I want to merge 999 into.

You will get a popup asking if you would like to merge them.  Select yes to merge the records together into the "new customer #" you had selected. This will merge the customers for you.
