Deleting obsolete inventory items

Hi,   I have some obsolete inventory items that had transactions attached to them more than 5 years ago. Is there any way to get rid of this history so that the items can be deleted?   Thanks

Hi Ivy12 

The old inventory items cannot be deleted if they have been used in a transaction before, but you can inactivate them and add zzz in the beginning of their names so they are pushed at the end of the inventory drop down list. This would make selection of items easier. 


Please feel free to post if you have further questions or suggestions.

    Thanks for your response Komal_S I really want to get rid of these items that we will never be using again.

      Hi Ivy12 


      Whereas it's not directly possible in AccountRight, you can look at third party apps that offer it or choose to start a new company file by exporting and importing the required data. We do apologise for the inconvenience caused due to this.

        Hi gavin12345 

         

        I have about 200 items to remove. No housekeeping has been done for the last 10 years or so.

         

        Thanks
