RE: Deleting Items -- SYSTEM21

If you need to reuse an ITEM you had previously deleted there IS a bug as
Mex stated...
The way around that is to delete the INP34 record for the
previously-deleted ITEM...  (INP34 = Sales Analysis Deleted Item File)
That should then enable you to re-use that ITEM Number...

I would caution you to not delete ITEMs unless you are fairly confident you
will never need to reuse them again...

There might also be a problem with a file called INP35F (Inventory item
master extension) but I'm not 100% sure on that one...

See ya...

It is our understanding that even if you use the item deletion functions
there is a bug in System 21 that the items don't really go away and where
companies that want to use the number again, you can't. It is also our
understanding that is a very long process to delete items with transaction
history, inventory, etc. I know this isn't a direct answer to your question
but I'm making sure you know some of the challenges. Good Luck.

Subject: Deleting Items


We know that there is a utility in JBA to delete items.  We also believe
that is probably not wise to delete items that have transactions, and in
our situation these transactions have impacted GL through AFI.  We have
about 2000 items, some of which have balances, that need to be zeroed out,
and deleted.  It is our desire to make it impossible for these items to
have transactions posted against them in the future.  We also don't want to
look at them on JBA reports, etc.  We know that long term, archiving is a
part of the solution, but we are not ready for that step right now.  Is
there a solution?
