Delete products

Cin7 Core has two options for removing products from your inventory.

  • Products can be deprecated, which removes them from active inventory but keeps a record of their information.

  • Deprecated products can then be deleted to completely remove all of their records from the system. You can only completely delete products which have not been used in any transactions or operations (purchase, sale, inventory, production, etc.).

Deprecate a product

Deprecate a product to make it unavailable for sale, purchase, production, or any other operation. This keeps an informational record of the product in your inventory. You can also deprecate multiple products in bulk.

Why can't I delete my products?

Product is not deprecated

Check the product status is Deprecated and not Active.

Product used in transactions or operations

Products that have been used in purchase, sale, stock transfer, production, or any other operations cannot be deleted. This includes draft operations. You can check where a product has been used from the Movements tab. Void these operations to delete the product.

  

Product linked to external sales channel

Products linked to external sales channels cannot be deleted. This includes being listed on Cin7 Core channels such as B2B and POS. Check if the product is linked to external sales channels from the Channels. Remove the product from any channels to delete the product.
