If you are going to stop selling a product line or the manufacturer discontinues a product line, you should deactivate the products. This allows you to keep the sales history for the products and gives you the flexibility to reactivate the products in the future.
Important: When you deactivate products, you cannot add the products to purchase orders or ring up the products.
