Deleting Products (Bulk & Individual Delete)
Last updated: 15 February 2025 · 1 min read
BillBook allows you to delete products, but certain conditions apply. If a product has transactions, 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.
Error messages you may see:
- "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
- Click on the Actions button → Select Delete
- If the product has no transactions, it will be deleted.
Bulk Deleting Multiple Products
- Go to → Products → List Products
- Select multiple products using checkboxes
- Click on the Bulk Actions menu → Select Delete Selected
Deactivating Instead of Deleting
- 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.
