Is there any way to make a list of items inactive in GP?

Thanks,
Cassandra

Starting with GP 2015 you can check the Inactive box on the Item Card. If the item is Sales Inventory, you can change it to Discontinued. Before we could inactivate an item, if it was not a ‘Sales Inventory’ item, I would go behind the scenes and change the item type in SQL so that I could mark it discontinued. This ‘behind-the-scenes’ method is frowned upon and is not supported anywhere by anyone; but, it worked for me. Best answer is to upgrade to a release that provides the Inactivate option.
Kind regards,
Leslie

A couple of major differences between inactive and discontinued are as follows:

A discontinued item can be removed during the Inventory Year End procedure/utility.  There are some criteria that needs to be met before it can be removed.  This was the main reason we used discontinued over inactive.  Here is a good summation of the difference provided by Etelligent Solutions Inc.
