In IFS Apps10, is it possible to delete or expire a no longer required ‘Sales Charge Type’ ?

We have many that were used pre-Brexit that are now obsolete for our needs.

We have tried to delete them using the Delete (bin) function but they have been used in previous years and are becoming a hinderance in our day to day processing.

(The Sales Charge Type “XXXX” is used by 10 rows in another object (Sales Charge Type Desc))

 

Thank you.

The best you can do through the UI is change the description of the charge to indicate that it is Obsolete (OBS) or do not use (DNU) as a prefix, or make it zDNU so it falls to the bottom of the list.  

Programmatically, you can create an event that will block the usage of the obsoleted items by stopping the save of the charge to new lines.  

There isn’t an IFS managed method like a check box or date to drop them out of the list however.

There is an option in the sales charge type to delete the sales charge type after deleting the description of the sales charge type.

 

hope this helps.
