Manage the status of a stock item

From time to time you may need to suspend a stock item until a query is answered or a problem solved. This is achieved by changing the status of the stock item. The status on the stock item can either be active or inactive. By setting the status to inactive you cannot:

• Sell the stock item through the Sales Order Processing module.
• Buy the stock item through the Purchase Order Processing module.
• Transfer the stock item through the Stock Control module.
• Write off the stock item through the Stock Control module.

You cannot make a stock item inactive when the item is:

• On a Live purchase order.
• On a Live sales order.
• Allocated.
• On an Active BOM.
