Instead of deleting an item (which removes it from MYOB, it's a good idea to make the item inactive. This removes the item from reports and some selection lists.

Inactive items retain details you may need some day, and you can always reactivate the item later if you need to.

To deactivate an item

From the Sales menu, choose Items. Your list of items appears.
(Optional) Find an item by selecting the Type or entering all or part of the item's name in the Search field. As you type, matching items are shown.
Click the item you want to make inactive. The item's details are shown.
Select the option Inactive item.
Click Save to deactivate the item. To see deactivated items in your item list, select the option Show inactive items.

To reactivate an item

From the Sales menu, choose Items. Your list of items appears.
Select the option Show inactive items. Your deactivated items are now included in the item list.
(Optional) Find an item by selecting the Type or entering all or part of the item's name in the Search field. As you type, matching items are shown.
Click the item you want to reactivate. The item's details are shown.
Deselect the option Inactive item.
Click Save. The item is reactivated and appears with your other active items on the Items page.
