Can old unused inventory items be archived or hidden in reports? If so, can they also be restored in future if necessary?

 

Thanks so much!!

  1. There is no operation to "inactivate" items in QuickBooks POS.
  2. You may delete items. This will not remove them from previous documents or previous period reporting, but they will no longer be on the item list, or show up in filter selectors. You may not restore them in the future. You will lose the ability to look at the item, with its convenient history list.

Can you walk me through this?  We have a lot of old inventory items that we don’t use any more and going through the physical count has been tedious to say the least.  We would like to “clean it up”

Welcome to the Community. Let's go through the process of deleting inventory items in QuickBooks POS, @BobbyB12.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Go to the Inventory menu, then select Item List.
  2. Locate the inventory item you want to delete.
  3. Click the I Want to... drop-down menu, then choose Delete
  4. Tap Delete again to confirm.

 

Repeat the same steps above if you have several items to remove from your item list.
