Deleting or Undeleting a Manufacturer

Delete an item if it is no longer needed in any capacity, and it is not likely to be needed in the future. Most deleted items can be undeleted.

When you delete a Manufacturer:

  • Product forms and purchase orders that already use this manufacturer remain unchanged.
  • It is no longer selectable from any forms or menus.
  • It does not appear in search results unless Deleted is selected from the Advanced menu.
  • It may still appear in reports depending on the report setup criteria.

Note:To delete or undelete this item, the current location must be its Home Location.
