Solution

You will either need a mapping table that maps the different codes together or some other kind of logic that allows you to combine them (e.g. based on common UPC codes or some fuzzy logic based on names). Your ETL process should then be capable of conforming those product codes to a single product. If you need human intervention to create or review the product mapping then that's probably best accomplished in a Master Data Management environment which becomes a data source for your Warehouse.
