Items List convert to Inventory

Hello,

 

I have deleted all the purchases/sales against two Items List in order to inventory them, however the background tick means I can't change them to Inventory.  After a manual check I cannot figure out how I am unable to amend and update to inventory items.  Is there a  way of checking in the background as the reports for items list are minimal and don't provide any help.  I have also manually checked the account items get coded to etc and every purchase related has been deleted as far as I can tell.  Could you help by removing the tick manually in the background?

    I would be looking at running the Sales [Item Detail] report (Reports>>Sales>>Item) for that item for an extended period i.e. 01/01/1900 to 31/12/9998. You'll also have to ensure that the Sale Status is set to be All Sales - this way you are including orders and quotes. The same can be run on the Purchases side with the Purchases [Item Detail] report - Reports>>Purchases>>Item. These reports would need to be clear i.e. show no transactions in order to move that item to be inventoried.

    It should be noted that some customers rename the non-inventoried item and make it as inactive then create a new item that is inventoried, rather than deleting and recreating transactions. This could be an option for yourself in that position.

    Hi Cat2 

     

    Unfortunately MYOB has an annoying habit of setting a flag in the background that prevents you from doing what you want - and there is no way to untick it - i.e. the flag is irreversibly set once set.

     

    This happens in many things - eg create a new ledger account - put 1 entry into it - delete that entry - now try and delete that account.

     

    As suggested just make the item inactive - rename with zz in front to push it to the bottom and start again.
