I would expect it to to be possible to deactivate or hide handling unit types that are no longer in use, but that does not seem to be a choice: Anyone know how to do this?

Hi ​@Termela,

As far as I know In IFS Applications 10, there is no standard functionality to deactivate or hide Handling Unit Types that are no longer in use. The system does not provide an “Inactive” flag, validity period, or configuration option to remove them from the List of Values. Even if a type is no longer operationally used, it will still appear in selection lists. Also a Handling Unit Type can only be deleted if it has never been used in any handling unit and has no references in shipments, inventory records, or transaction history. Once the type is used, it becomes part of the system’s historical and transactional data.
