Retiring An Item

Task/Problem Overview

This document will cover how to retire items in Savance Enterprise. Retiring an item might be useful if you no longer plan to sell it.

Retiring an Item

To retire an item, go to Inventory > Inventory Manager > Item Manager. Search for the item and open it up. At the bottom, you will see an ‘Actions’ button.

Select ‘Retire Item’

In the next screen, you will now need to search for another item that will supersede the current item. You may either type in the exact Part Number, or you can click the binoculars to search for it. Once you have selected a Part Number, click OK. Then you will receive a confirmation window, saying that the Item has been retired successfully.

Now if you type the retired Part Number into a quote, you'll notice that it will automatically change to the Part Number that superseded it. The retired items Part Number will show up in the description column as well. Basically, the old Part Number is now an alias of the new part number (which can be seen by opening up the new item and going to the Product Info section).

NOTE: If this item is currently on any open orders you will receive an alert, and will not be able to retire/delete the item.
