Hello
We have items in the inventory item master that are both inactive and discontinued.  Yet when we run the Inventory yearend they are not being removed.
We currently are not tracking inventory, so they have no balances on hand.  We are planning on starting to track inventory this year.  We were hoping we could use this yearend procedure to clean up the item master before we started to track inventory.

Thank you

Hi ,

There are several criteria that must be met for a discontinued item to be removed from the system.

1.  Item Type = Discontinued
2.  0 quantity on hand
3.  Not on any un-posted inventory, PO, or sales transaction
4. Cannot be a component of any kit item
5. Cannot be a component of any BOM
6. Cannot be a BOM itself

It sounds like you’ve got the item set to Discontinued and it sounds like the QTY on hand should be 0 (possibly double check to be sure?).  Based on your message it seems like 4-6 would be the next place to check before looking for something deeper (data issues, corruption, etc.)

Does that make sense?  if you have any questions, please let me know.

Thanks,

Samantha

Thank you.  
There appears to be old “garbage” resulting in OH qty. associated with the items in question.

Thanks for the suggestions!
