This document provides comprehensive information on managing inactive items within the HirePOS system. Understanding how to handle inactive items is essential for maintaining accurate records and ensuring efficient item management.

Inactive items are those that are no longer available for use in new invoices and item dropdowns across various screens, such as availability. However, it is important to note that these items will continue to appear in historical reports for record-keeping purposes.

To make an item inactive in HirePOS, please follow these steps:

1. Go to Setup > Items.

2. Edit the item you wish to make inactive.

3. At the top right corner, locate the Options button and click on it.

4. From the dropdown menu, select the Make item inactive option.

If you need to reactivate an item in the future, you can do so by following these steps:

1. Go to Setup > Items.

2. Access the Inactive tab, which contains all inactive items.

3. Locate the item you wish to reactivate and edit it.

4. Click on the Make active option to reactivate the item.

Items can be made inactive in bulk by performing a CSV import (in update mode) in HirePOS. To do this, follow these steps:

1. Export all of your current items using Export Items CSV File in the Options button on the Items screen (Setup > Items).

2. Remove rows except those you want to make inactive and remove all columns except the Item code and Description.

3. Add a new column called Inactive and set each row to Yes.

4. Import the CSV file using Import Items CSV File (in Update mode) to set all the items in the file to inactive.

5. Confirm the update was sucessful in the Inactive tab of the Items list screen.

By following these steps, you can effectively manage inactive items in HirePOS, ensuring accurate record-keeping and streamlined item management processes.
