Note: Deleted Items Added Back to Inventory

In-help popup

If you delete an item from inventory, but then create or reverse a transactional document including that item, Point of Sale adds the item back to inventory. Inventory will reflect the change in item quantity effected by the document, creating a positive or negative on-hand quantity depending on the type of document.

For example, reversing a sales receipt results in a return receipt, and the returned quantity is added back to inventory. So, your deleted item is now back in inventory with a positive quantity.

This may trigger the item showing up in other program areas, such as on your Reorder Items Reminders screen. Review the item and delete it again, if appropriate.

(Pro) This could also occur if a remote store creates a document listing the item after Headquarters deletes it, in which case the item is added back to inventory once the document is received at Headquarters in a Store Exchange.
