Location Product Deactivation

The Location Products summary screen lists all active and inactive location products. To view this list, go to Products | Location Products. The summary screen defaults to showing only active products; to view the inactive location products, choose 'Inactive' from the drop-down.

Click the Active check box to activate an inactive location product.

Automatic Deactivation

Any location product remains active as long as there is a quantity of that product in the location’s inventory and/or the product is included in transactions. If the on-hand quantity reaches zero and stays at zero, AND the product is not purchased, issued or transferred for a designated number of post periods then the location product will become inactive. The number of post periods is set by Corporate in the General Preferences screen (Corporate | Preferences | General) with the "Deactivate Products after ___ Post Cycles" setting.

In the example above, location products at each location are deactivated if the following criteria are met for 4 consecutive post periods:

The quantity of the product in inventory is zero (0).
The product is not involved in any transactions (e.g. purchases from vendors, issues to customers, location or storage transfers, etc).

What does it mean?

Once a location product is deactivated in this way, the following becomes true AT THAT LOCATION ONLY:

It no longer appears on inventory count sheets or the Inventory screen.
It is no longer available to be issued to customers.

Note: A Location Product will not be deactivated in its primary storage if there are quantities or activity for this product in other storage locations.
