# Replace Inventory Item

Once we have clicked on the **Replace Inventory Items** button through
the **Inventory
Items**
screen, a screen like the one we can see below will appear.

It allows us to replace the name of an inventory item that we do not use
anymore for another one in all the **Family
Groups**
and
**Recipes**.

We can write a different description if we wish and also change the
equivalence between both items if applicable, thereby it will allow us
to see in the Inventory Item Historical Report with the previous
description and the updated description.

Once we have configured the description of the new inventory item, we
will click on the **Ok** button.

The **Cancel** button allows us to exit of the screen without making any
changes.
