Deactivating a Product

If you are going to stop selling a product or the manufacturer discontinues a product, you should deactivate the product. This allows you to keep the sales history for the product and gives you the flexibility to reactivate the product in the future.

Important: When you deactivate a product, you cannot add the product to purchase orders or ring up the product.
