How to un-delete an inventory item

KB269

Overview

When deleting inventory items, if the item has been used in past transactions, it is moved to a recycle bin with a modified Item code. This item is now in a state referred to as Pending delete. Within Accentis Enterprise, these items can be searched for and reinstated to make them available for use.

Removing an item from the recycle bin

To reinstate an item and recover it from the recycle bin:

    1. Open the Inventory form via Inventory > Inventory…

Allow display of deleted records menu is located as a drop down of the Special menu.

    1. Enter the deleted item’s code into the Item Code field and select Fetch.
    2. Select Edit. This will reinstate the item.
      1. Optionally, you may remove the underscore from the end of the Item Code field as this was added when the item was deleted so that the same code may be re-used. Be careful to ensure the item code without the underscore has not already been reused.

Edit button is located along the bottom of the inventory window. The item code field is located at the top left.

    1. Select Update. The item is now ready for use.
