Title: Deleting Product, does it change reports?
Post by: Courtright on May 20, 2014, 05:10:18 PM

So let's say I go to Product Control and delete a product that (as an example) was sold last year on May 1st, 2013 for $100.  The product has been discontinued this year so I delete it from the database (deleting helps keep the inventory reports to a minimum when printed daily).

Last year on May 1st (2013) I theoretically do $1,000 in sales.

Now that I have deleted this Product that was sold last year on May 1st, does it alter the total sales when searching using "reports"?  So if I delete the $100 item that sold last May 1st and run a report of total sales that day will it still remain at the true $1,000? or will it now give me a total sales for that day of $900?

Just curious whether it pulls the sales from items sold that day or if it goes off of Z-Reports. Thank you.

(I tend to over-explain my question to a point of simplicity ... sorry)  ;)

No.  Nothing will delete sales information.  Unless you delete a sale.  Deleting products will change product inventory type reports.  We recommend that you do not delete products.  Use the Discontinued Option.
