I am using OE 8.1B (20080306). Every year we get a new catalog which has new items and has discontinued other items. How can I delete the discontinued item numbers all at once, instead of one at a time? I have tried exporting the item numbers to a spreadsheet, doing the deletes and importing them back; but this doesn't delete them out of order entry.

I know this is a wierd way of doing things, but I am using O/E strictly as a method of printing picking tickets; so I never want to generate an invoice from an order. Consequently my order is never complete. This only bothers me when I want to delete item numbers. They can not be delected because they are in an order that isn't complete. Any suggestions on either how I can complete orders without doing invoices, or delete the orders (other than one at a time), or ideally delete the item number?

Thanks for the help. Linda
