As discussed with the DELETE option above you cannot delete a stock record once a transaction has been recorded against it unless clearing down transactions at period end. As an alternative this option allows a stock record to be marked for deletion at year-end.
Once marked, the record isn’t immediately deleted and transactions can still be processed for that item (although warnings are given). If you change your mind and want to keep the stock item then reselecting the same stock item within this option offers to ‘retain’ the stock code.
The stock records flagged for deletion are removed as part of the year-end processes, the system prompting to ‘Remove Flagged Records and Transactions’. If confirmed then these records are removed provided that the physical, reserved and on-order quantities are all 0.
