# Inactivating Products

When a product is discontinued, whether by the manufacturer or because you no longer wish to carry it, its status should be changed to “Inactive”. It will no longer show when you proceed to add products to a sales ticket.

## Inactivating one or two products

Proceed to: **Manage** > **Inventory** > **Products**

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Change “Active” to NO

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Click **Save**

![Active update to no](/files/6c9d8ba32fcc9dfb8f15a8ebf2d8d3e1de4e1e46)
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

## Inactivating a handful of products

Proceed to: **Manage** > **Inventory** > **Mass Update**

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Filter products if needed

Utilize the Filters box at the top to view only the Brands and/or Product Groups, (etc) you wish.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Change the “Active” column

Change the drop-downs in the "Active" column to NO.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Save your changes

Click **Save Changes** at the bottom of each page before continuing to the next.

{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

## Deleting Products

If the product has not yet acquired any usage history in your account, you will be able to delete it.

Proceed to: **Manage** > **Inventory** > **Products** > Click on the product name

![Delete product](/files/3f43e56d76e71cdcfc2e00521b546325676137a9)

If the product *has* been sold in the past, added onto an Inventory Use ticket, etc., it cannot be deleted.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://support.rosysalonsoftware.com/inventory/inactivating-products.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
