deleting an item

my user has created an wrong item… now we want to delete it. 1. how to find if there is any transaction associated with it. 2. assuming that there are not transactions for this item, can we delete an item, if so how? 3. is it possible to delete master data like item, customer, vendor

Hi 1. Drill down on the inventory field, or select the item button and ledger entries - any entries mean there are transactions. 2. Press delete, or F4 when on the record. 3. Yes - if you have permissions and there are no transactions.

Hello masqazi,

If there are any ledger entries for the item then there have been transactions. [:)]

Press F4 to delete the item. Usually the system checks if there are any transactions (in an open accounting period) and denies to delete it if there are entries.

Yes. However, if there are existing unposted documents or production orders, then there will be problems afterwards. Navision does not check if a customer is used in orders or invoices. greetings Jens

Hi walter@kirz, you are right, standard Navision does check this. [Oops!] I looked it up to be sure. It does not check for G/L Accounts and Item Charges, though (Navision 3.70B). greetings Jens
