Delete old product and service records
Description

It's useful to remove records that you no longer use. This reduces the number of old records you have to look through, and helps you find things quickly.

Cause
Resolution

Delete product records if they have no stock, no transactions, and are not linked to a bill of materials.

  • If the record has a quantity in stock, use the stock in a sales invoice, or post an adjustment to make the quantity in stock zero
  • If the record has associated transactions, you can remove these by backing up and running the clear audit trail option. This permanently removes all transactions that are complete, up to a specific date
  • To check if a product is associated with a bill of materials, you can run the Product Explosion report

To delete a record

  1. Open the Products and Services and select the records you want to delete.
  2. Click Delete then, to confirm deletion, click Yes.

After deleting records, we recommend that you take a backup and compress your data.
