Delisting SKUs in Barnet

DELISTING SKUS IN BARNET

There are two options for Delisting SKUs in Barnet: Out of Stock and Delist Vendor. Both options work similarly but there are a couple of differences. With either option you can mark SKUs before they are actually sold out or wait until you have 0 OnHand.

With either option:

• In POS Manager, SKUs show in red

• In Portal, they show with a “Delist” flag

• The SKUs can be hidden in <Product Maintenance> (as long as they have 0 OnHand) by clicking “Hide delisted 0 on hand”

• The SKUs will not show in ReOrder Guide in POS Manager or in Portal (if “Active Items Only” is selected)

• The SKUs cannot be searched at the till. Should the SKU be in stock at the store or returned after having been previously delisted they will still scan to sell. However, if a clerk just uses Product Searches to find a SKU, it will not come up to be accidentally sold.

Out of Stock

You can check the “Out of stock” field on the Stock Tab in <Product Maintenance>. You can also use “Apply All” to mark SKUs as ‘Out of Stock’.

If you choose this option, you should periodically search your out-of-stock SKUs in POS Manager either by sorting the “Out of Stock” column or by filtering “Delisted Items Only” so you can make sure that no newly returned items have OnHand values. If you mark a SKU as ‘Out of Stock’ and then order it in again, the Out-of-Stock flag will stay checked unless you manually remove it.

If you have the filter “Hide delisted 0 on hand” checked, these SKUs with OnHand will show in your Product Maintenance as red and if you want to keep stocking the SKU and have it show in ReOrder Guide, you will want to uncheck this.

Delist Vendor

With this option you get a warning when SKUs return to the store via receiving invoices. Create a Vendor called DELIST with ID DELIST. This specific Vendor setup is hardcoded in Barnet so keep it exact.

Apply this Vendor to any SKU you want to Delist. When you change the SKU’s Vendor to DELIST the system will ask you if you want to change the Vendor in History, press “No”.

If the product returns to the store via imported invoice you will get a warning which will alert you to change the system vendor and make sure the SKU gets put out for sale with a price tag, etc. Without this warning, returned products might get missed by staff and not put out for sale. Sometimes these SKUs are returning for a special order only and it is helpful to get this alert when you receive your invoices. The Error Report you sometimes see when you import an invoice is that same alert. It shows SKUs that have a different Vendor than the receiving. This can be printed to alert your stock receivers to ensure the product gets put out for sale.

Deleting SKUs

SKUs should only be deleted if they have no transactional history in the database. A good time to delete SKUs is after an archive. You can sort by ‘Last Sold’ and ‘Last Received’ to see SKUs that have no history in the database. They can be deleted by staff who have “Delete product” enabled in Personnel Settings:

When you select a SKU and press the red minus sign (-) at the top left, ALWAYS choose “Delete without transactions” just to be safe.

You can highlight several SKUs at once to delete. The system may seem to freeze for a minute but then the option to “Delete without transactions” will pop up. It will save some time if you have a lot to delete. We suggest doing no more than 20 SKUs at a time or it may freeze too long.
