We have recently started using your Adagio A/P, Inventory, GL , Gridview.
On the print physical inventory Worksheet page under the Print Options Select "All items" or "Active Items Only". How does the program define an active item ??? Can I deactivate an item rather that delete it?? In the past I have had many data integrety errors in Accpac Plus Inv
after deleting inventory items (We use Inventory
Receipts for POs and receiving). I've always wished for suppress zero or zero transaction items or simply deactivate an item if it is not used for several years. I am afraid to delete anything! I use the sales history report ith 12 month, YTD and LY options. It is a huge report because it prints every item in any category. It would be great to have the option of showing only items with sales.
Hope you can help . THanks

Hi Elvira,

An item is considered 'active' in the Physical Inventory function if any of the quantities for that item and location are not zero. This includes Quantity on Hand, Qty on Purchase Order, or Qty on Sales Order. Using this setting, you can avoid printing items that are effectively not in use.

This setting has nothing to do with deleting items. Adagio Inventory does protect against deleting items that have any positive quantities, but there isn't an 'Active' setting for an item (an interesting idea though...).

I have heard that for 'discontinued items', it is better to edit the Description to something like 'Discontinued', rather than deleting the item. That way other programs that keep Sales History can still find the item. Only when all references to the old items are gone would it be 'safe' to delete items.

Regards,
