Deleting POS Inventory Items

Q: Can I delete POS Inventory Items without causing problems?

A: If you Delete an Inventory Item (Through Maintenance / POS Inventory Items / Inventory Setup), then any past sales for that item would not show up on the Inventory Sales reports (the transactions and totals would still be there for the Receipts or Charges reports, it just won't know which item was sold).  Otherwise it doesn't really hurt anything.  So if it's an item that has not been used in a long time and you're not concerned with reporting for that particular item, then it's safe to delete it.

However you also have the option to make the item Inactive (check the "Inactive" box), so history is still there but it won't appear on pick-lists or new reports.
