It would be great if there was a way of bulk deleting, or bulk merging of unused cards and especially items.

Hi BIRD_PLACE
Users have been requesting this for years. MYOB are very unlikely to add this as a feature. The reason is MYOB holds the details for each Item etc in a database table. When a transaction is recorded, that transaction now has a link to this Item table, as it uses an Item from the table. If you delete the Item from the table, the transaction becomes 'corrupt' as it links to something no longer there. To avoid this and maintain database integrity, MYOB prevents an Item from being deleted once it has been used.
So to delete an Item that has been used, you would need specialist software that will also update all transactions that used the Item. This avoids the database integrity issue. There is a MYOB specialist that can delete in bulk Items Cards etc that have been used, by also updating all transactions that have used them. Send me a private message if you would like contact details.
Or wait on MYOB to add this.
Regards
Gavin
