Removing or Inactivating Items

Removed Items are items that you don’t plan on reselling or reordering. These should be removed from the system when the on hand reaches 0.

Note: an item that is removed will always exist in the database. This is so historical sales data will still be available.

• To remove an item, highlight the item and click Remove Item.
  
• Make sure the On-Hand Count is zero before you attempt to remove an item from inventory.

• To un-remove an item, double-click on the item and click Yes Undelete. The item editor screen will open for the item. Click Save and Close to complete the undelete process.
  

Inactive Items are typically seasonal product that you plan to store until the next time you want to sell them. These items usually do not expire and do not require the stock to be 0 to be removed from your everyday inventory item view(s).

• To set an item to Inactive, navigate to its Other Details tab in the Item Editor and uncheck the “This Item is Active” checkbox.
  
• Depending on User Permissions, you can also achieve this by right-clicking the item on the main inventory items view and selecting “Set Inactive”.
  
• To set an item back to Active when you are ready to sell it again, use the right-click “Set Active” option, or re-check the “This Item is Active” checkbox in the Other Details tab for the item.
