BillBook allows you to delete products, but certain conditions apply. If a product has transactions (e.g., Sales, Purchases, Stock Transfers), it cannot be deleted—instead, you can deactivate it. 🚀📦
🚨 Important Note on Deleting Products #
❌ Products with transactions CANNOT be deleted.
✅ Transactions include:
- Opening Stock 📊
- Purchases 🛒
- Sales 🛍️
- Stock Transfers 🔄
If a product has transactions, attempting to delete it will show an error message:
❌ “Product can’t be deleted because purchases related to this product exist”
❌ “Some products couldn’t be deleted because they have transaction records.”
💡 Solution: Instead of deleting, deactivate the product if it’s no longer in use.
🗑️ Deleting an Individual Product #
✅ Go to → Products → List Products
✅ Find the product you want to delete.
✅ Click on the Actions button → Select “Delete”
✅ If the product has no transactions, it will be successfully deleted.
✅ If it has transactions, you will see an error message.
🗑️ Bulk Deleting Multiple Products #
✅ Go to → Products → List Products
✅ Select multiple products using checkboxes ✅
✅ Click on the “Bulk Actions” menu
✅ Select “Delete Selected”
✅ If any of the selected products have transactions, they will NOT be deleted.
💡 Tip: If deletion is not possible due to transactions, consider deactivating the product instead.
🚫 Deactivating Instead of Deleting #
If a product cannot be deleted due to transaction history, the best alternative is to deactivate it:
✅ Go to → Products → List Products
✅ Find the product and click “Deactivate”
✅ The product will no longer appear in POS or Sales Screens but will remain in records.
