Deleting Items in Inventory Maintenance

You can delete an item (SKU) from Inventory Maintenance. Deleting an item can affect sales history and other information. Do not delete an item until after running year-end reports. If you delete an item prior to year-end, the sales history information reported by other inventory reports (such as Reports RIV, RIS, RSH, RPH, RIH, and RPA) will be inaccurate. Prior to deleting an item, you must check other functions to see if that item exists. If the item does exist, you must first delete the SKU from that function before you delete the SKU from Inventory Maintenance. Check the following functions (from Network Access or from the Inventory Maintenance window):

• IAD Inventory Adjustment

• FIL Flexible Inventory Load

• MPO Modify Purchase Order

• PIP Physical Inventory Posting

• QPIP Quick Physical Inventory Posting

• MPH Modify Physical Inventory Shrinkage History

• POS Transactions (any saved POS transactions, such as orders, estimates, bids, special orders, and transfers)

• Item Price Changes (Go To menu)

• Alternate Part Number (Vendor tab)

• Modify Item Promotions (Go To menu)

• Modify Kits (Go To menu)

• Modify Tally Cross Reference (Go To menu)

   • If the message "Delete Record?" displays, click Yes.
