DMS Support ~ Deleting Inventory Items

The following is an outline for using the Inventory Batch Delete function.

Please use caution when running this process.

Assumptions that the system makes for selecting parts:

no current on hand qty

no open purchase orders

no open customer orders

no movement transactions within specified number of fiscals (configurable)

Warnings:

purchase history is not checked

order history is not checked

sales history is not checked

Instructions:

select '11' - Delete Inventory Items - from Inventory menu

select '2' - Batch deletion audit from delete menu - this will produce a listing of all inventory items showing which ones meet the above criteria. NOTE: you might wish to have this routine changed to select items by product line or other criteria, otherwise you will get a very large report.

select '3' - Maintain batch delete items - to remove any items that you do not want deleted. Enter the location code, the part number and when prompted - CONFIRM DELETE (Y,N) [[N]] ? - answer 'Y' - this will remove the item from the 'to be deleted' list

select '4' - Batch delete - to actually remove the inventory and parts records for each item selected
