Delete Product (Bulk delete)

Deleting Products in Zuriey POS

Deleting products from Zuriey POS is a straightforward process, but it’s important to understand the implications and restrictions involved. Here’s a guide on how to delete products, including individual and bulk deletion, as well as common errors you may encounter.

Important Note on Deletion

• Permanent Removal: Deleting a product will permanently remove it from the database.
• Transaction Restrictions: You cannot delete a product if there are any transactions associated with it. This includes:
  • Opening Stock
  • Purchases
  • Sales
  • Stock Transfers

If you attempt to delete a product with related transactions, you will receive an error message such as:

• "Product can’t be deleted because purchases related to this product exist."
• "Some products couldn’t be deleted because they have transactions related to them."

Deleting Individual Products

1. Navigate to Products: Go to the Products section.
2. Select the Product: Find the product you wish to delete.
3. Delete Option: Click on the delete option (usually represented by a trash can icon or similar).
4. Confirm Deletion: Confirm that you want to delete the product.

Bulk Deleting Multiple Products

1. Navigate to List Products: Go to the list of products.
2. Select Multiple Products: Check the boxes next to the products you want to delete.
3. Bulk Delete Option: Look for a bulk action option (often labeled "Delete Selected" or similar).
4. Confirm Bulk Deletion: Confirm your action when prompted.

Handling Delete Errors

If you encounter errors while trying to delete products, here are some strategies:

• Identify Transactions: Check if there are any transactions related to the product (sales, purchases, or opening stock).
• Deactivate Instead of Delete: If you want to prevent further sales or visibility of a product without deleting it, consider deactivating the product instead. This way, it remains in the system but is not available for transactions.

By following these guidelines, you can effectively manage product deletions in Zuriey POS while avoiding common pitfalls related to transaction dependencies!
