What is the difference between Sage 100 ERP Inventory Inactive Item versus Discontinued Item

May 1, 2014 by Wayne Schulz

Issue:

A frequent question about Sage 100 Inventory involves the difference between an inactive item versus discontinued item

Explanation:

You can turn on Inactive Items by going to:

  1. Inventory Management, Main, Item Maintenance
  2. Select item you wish to make Inactive
  3. Go to Additional Tab, Select Inactive Item from lower right quadrant.

Inactive items cannot be Purchased or Invoiced, nor can a Sales order be written.

You can turn on Discontinued Items by going to:

  1. Inventory Management, Main, Item Maintenance
  2. Select item you wish to Discontinue
  3. From Main Tab, using the Product Type drop down, select Discontinued.

The Difference Between Inactive and Discontinued Items

Discontinued Items will be removed from the Internet and when you try to purchase, invoice or write a sales order, you will be prompted, “This Item has been Discontinued. Do you want to continue?” Yes or No. You can select yes and use the item.
