If you have items that you create for a one-time sale, for example, inactivating them after their one-time use will remove them from the selection windows. Your list of items will be shorter, and selecting the item you need will be easier.
If an item is marked inactive, however, you may still use the item in transactions by manually entering the item. Inactive items will still appear in the Items List window. You can also return the status of the item to active so that it will appear again in the selection windows. No matter what the status of an item-active or inactive, transactions recorded using the item will still affect all of your financial records.
The Items List (Summary)report will display and print item information with or without inactive items. Use the Report Customization window to unmark or mark the selection Include Inactive Items.
If you have an item that hasn't been assigned to any sales, you can quickly remove its record from the MYOB system.
You can't delete an item until all sales that use the item are deleted or purged. Once the sales are deleted or purged, you can then remove the item. (See Purging information that's no longer needed to learn how to purge sales.)
