Why remove an item from a supplier?
You should Deactivate an item if a given supplier no longer provides it to you. To ensure that the supplier no longer receives document requests from your company for an item they no longer provide, you must break that supplier/item connection.
How to remove an item from a supplier
Step 1: Navigate to the Supplier Management > Suppliers sub-tab and determine which supplier you need to remove an item from.
Step 2: Click on the Items link next to the supplier you need to remove the item from.
Step 3: Check the box next to the item(s) on the list that need(s) to be dissociated from this supplier.
Step 4: Click on the hamburger menu drop down and select Deactivate.
Step 5: Select 'Yes' from the confirmation bar.
If you ever need to see what Items have been Deactivated for a specific Supplier, you can simply put a checkmark next to "Show Inactive" (above the grid and to the left) and it will list ALL of the Items currently assigned to that supplier including all of the Items that have been deactivated for that supplier.
