How To: Archive a POS Product

Learn how to archive POS products so that they no longer appear on your POS storefront, new purchase order, and new inventory counts.

Note: Restoring the product only restores it to the Product list in the storefronts, it does not replace any inventory that was adjusted in each storefront or add it back to an open purchase order.

For items that are available to be an Online Store Add-on, archiving the product or item will not remove it from being visible online during the booking process.

Archiving Products that are available as an Online Store Add-on

An extra step is needed in order to archive a product that is also available as an Online Store Add-on. There are two ways to to achieve this:

  1. Go into each Site Type with the Online Store Add-on assigned and delete the product from the list (click here for more details on that process)
  2. Uncheck the Location "Online Store - Reservations" from the Inventory Item Detail for the product itself:
    Navigate to Storefront
    Click on Inventory
    Click on the item or product
    Scroll down to Locations and unselect "Online Store - Reservations"
This will remove the product from the Unit Types it is attached to.
