Inventory

Post by nessautosales »

We've been on Mitchel since 2005 and I want to clean up the inventory reports to be able to do a good inventory. Currently if I print the inventory report it's over 6000 pages long. I want to have the office delete the old part numbers. What does this do to the old invoices if we would happen to look at that invoice for some reason? Is the part off of it. Or is it "Locked in" to the invoice.

Hello,

Deleting old inventory will not impact old invoices. The part numbers and invoice specifics are stored separately from the Inventory counts/order levels/etc. Short version: Yes, it sounds like a good idea to start purging old inventory. :)

Thanks, is there any way you know of to purge parts older than a certain date or parts not currently in stock. We can manually do it...but if there was a way to automatically do it that would be great.

There may be a way to do a mass delete, but I am sure that is something that Tech Support has to do. I'd not be brave enough to do it myself, and would make sure you have a good back up.

Sorry, there isn't a way to purge by age in the application. However, there are certainly some shortcuts/tips to quickly deleting a large number of records. Tech Support should be able to demonstrate these for you.
