error in deleting items in inventory 1

[EveSat]

Hello,

WE would like to delete several items in the inventory which we no longer use. When trying to do this, we got this error message.

"1 E Incorrect procedure. Unit of measure is in use in vendor item numbers and cannot be deleted."

What's the option to delete inventory items.

Thanks,

Delete the vendor item numbers first.

Do you mean we have to delete also the vendor itself? All of our vendors supply us with with various items. we only want to delete a few of them which are no longer in use. We tried to inactivate the items and delete sometime later, but still no success.

I didn't say "delete the vendor", did I? Go to I/C Items and Price Lists/Vendor Details.

IF you have Accpac 5.5 then use the item no changer instead and merge all the unwanted items with a single item that you do not use, something like ZZZZ or CRAP or whatever. This avoids data integrity errors in the other modules where the items may have been used, like OE and PO.

sorry, I did not listen properly, i was doing quite a few things at the same time. We'll try your recommendation, then and we'll see.

Thank you.
