Let me guide you in inactivating items , @armylife94.
The process differs depending on the QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) version you've installed. If you're using Pro/Premier, the option to inactivate items isn't available. If you're using the Enterprise edition, you can change the access level. I'll show you how:
- Go to the Company menu.
- Choose the Users, then tap User Roles.
- Press the Role List.
- Select a roles and then click New to review its permissions.
- In the Area and Activities section, choose List.
- Set the Area Access Level choose Partial, and modify the access level you want to grand for user.
- Click OK.
However, for human error, it not possible, as our program can't identify it. Though, I have another workaround for that. For items that need not be active. You can add under item name DO NOT MAKE ACTIVE and mark check the Item is inactive.
