Inactive Records

[Kwoverby]

we are a manufacturing compnay that builds inventory for finished goods to be placed on the shelf. I need to revise a bill of material. I need to create a new item number and copy the old one. I will make my revisions to the new bill of material. I will then want to make the original bill inactive, and hide my inactive records. We have sold the original item from the bill of material this year and have items in inventory. When is the best time to make that item inactive? Once the item is inactive, can invoicing be done for these items that may be in inventory? How far does make it inactive actually go in effecting the sales functions?

Peachtree will let you sell inactive items that remain in stock. You'll encounter a prompt that the inventory item is inactive, but you can still accept the transaction, and the on-hand quantity will be removed from stock. Try a test transaction in one of the sample companies to see how this works before you try it on your live data.
