This option, again displaying the same screen as to add a stock record, allows you to remove a stock code that has been added incorrectly or is no longer required. You are ONLY allowed to delete a stock record where the following conditions apply:
The quantities for physical, on-order stock and reserved stock are all zero.
There are no transactions for this stock record in the stock transaction file.
If you are keeping transactions for reference purposes you are not able to delete stock codes until after the year-end (assuming that you do remove transactions at year end). If retaining transactions for a set time then you are not able to delete the stock record until after the transaction history for the item has been removed.
To delete a stock record enter the appropriate stock code (F4-Select is available if required). If the stock code has ‘active details’ then you are warned accordingly, <ENTER> then returns you to the stock code input. Once a valid code has been entered you are prompted to confirm ‘OK to Delete?’.Reply ‘N’ to abandon or ‘Y’ to delete the record.
