  Batch Delete Inventory by Consignor and/or by Category

Removing outdated records keeps the number of records being processed to a minimum and maximizes processing speed.

There are 7 ways to 'delete' records:

1. Inventory items can be moved to Storage. This actually doesn't delete a record but leaves a record in Inventory with a quantity of zero while creating a second record of the item in storage.
2. Delete any item manually using Delete in the Inventory Work Area.
3. Send data files to tech support to have records permanently deleted (fee based).
4. Extract a set of blank database files to the BCSS folder (C:\Program Folders\BCSS). Warning: This permanently deletes all files.
5. Uninstall the program to delete all records. If data is to be retained, be sure to make backup copies of the data before uninstalling.
6. Delete items in Storage using Batch Delete with the Storage Window open.
7. Delete settled items with quantity equal to zero using Batch Delete (discussed below).

Keep in mind that records of inventory items should be kept for a sufficient amount of time to allow for returns and refunds. For that reason, BCSS includes another feature called 'Storage' for moving settled items to a permanent storage file.

See Undelete Inventory for restoring items to inventory.

Consignor Records can also be excluded from software functions by making records inactive.

Batch Delete Inventory Records

Items with quantities greater than zero and items which have been sold but not settled will not be deleted by using this function. Sold buy outright items will also be deleted.

Records are not actually removed from the database. This allows old sales and settlement records to continue to show the items involved. Deleted items can be restored.
