When managing your inventory in hirepos, it's important to keep track of disposed items to maintain accurate records. The Purchase/Disposal tab in the Item setup details screen provides a convenient way to record disposal dates for items (assets) that are no longer in use.

To flag an item as Disposed:

1. Go into Setup > Items and select the item in question

2. Then go into the item's Purchase/Disposal tab and set the Disposal Date.

Once a Disposal Date is recorded for an item, it signifies that the item will no longer be used in invoices. Consequently, the item will be excluded from the dropdown list when adding items to sales records. Additionally, inactive items are also removed from this list.

To change the item back from being disposed, simply go back into the Purchase/Disposal tab and clear its Disposal Date. The Price Sold field should also be cleared, If it is not already empty, since the item is no longer disposed.

Since disposed items are no longer available for use, people often make them inactive in addition to being disposed. In these cases you will also need to reactivate the item by going into its Options dropdown and selecting "Make Item Active Again".

Disposed items can still be viewed in the Setup > Items list and the Global Search list. However, to easily identify disposed items, a red "Disposed" badge is displayed next to them. This visual cue helps in quickly recognizing items that have been disposed of.

To view a comprehensive list of all disposed items, navigate to Reports > Items > Disposed Items. From the report viewer, you can utilize the CSV button located at the top to export the report. This exported file can be opened with spreadsheet editors like Excel or Google Sheets for further analysis or record-keeping.

By effectively managing disposed items in hirepos, you can streamline your inventory management processes and ensure accurate tracking of assets throughout their lifecycle.
