I want to delete 10 items, and make them all just 1 item. Possible

I have a list of various services that I sell and I have them listed individually as separate items for each service I provide.

I would like to replace all of those service items with just one item called "service" and have it ask for the price at the POS.

The reason for this is that it is getting very confusing to ring up a service due to the short description allowed in RMS and a bit too long to search for the right service.

I rather add up the services manually based on a price sheet I have, and just select "service" item and input the price manually since every service price will vary.

The problem is that I have done previous sales with the other separate services, and I want to delete them off the system so the sales people no longer use those. How will deleting them affect my purchase history or any other accounting or long term effects?

What other alternatives can I use in order to not have any inconsistencies in the system?

If you have sold an item in the past you really do not want delete it from your database. What you can do is make the item InActive and block the sale of the item. This way you can still report on those items but your cashiers cannot sell them. Under item properties look at the Options tab.

Jonathan, I have a related issue. How are other resellers helping clients write-off obsolete and old, undervalued inventory via RMS? Do you just do an inventory transfer-out? To where? Some inventory loss account? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Thre is a KB article on CustomerSource for merging two items (including all of the histories, etc.). You could pick the one you want to keep, merge the others into it, then delete the unwanted items.
