Hi Sammy,

In the version 8.1A and service pack in February 2009, if you delete an item you will be asked if you want to also delete the history. Versions older than this will not delete the item.

If an item still has quantities on hand, sales order or purchase order, it is correct to not allow deleting the item. If you in fact want to remove this item, you need to find the Sales/Purchase orders that contain this item and delete this item from every document found. As for Quantity on Hand, if you don't actually have stock on hand for that item, you need to either adjust the quantity to zero or transfer the quantity to the correct item code.

You may be able to use the 3rd party product Toolkit for Adagio to help clean up the Inventory data.
