Deleting Products

If you no longer need a product, you can delete it from your account. Deleted products don't appear on the Configurable Items page and can't be configured on new transactions. Previous transactions maintain a reference to the deleted product, but you won't be able to view or open the configuration for the product.

Before deleting a product, take the following important points into account:

• Deleted products are permanently deleted from your NetSuite account and can't be restored. All subrecords (such as questions, answers, or tabs) are also deleted.

• Check for unfinished transactions that have a saved configuration for the product. After you delete the product, you won't be able to edit the configuration of the product from the transaction unless you specify a replacement product.

• If you think you might need to use the product again at a future date, you should export a copy of the product before deleting it. See Exporting Products for more information.

Note:

Instead of deleting a product, you might want to make it inactive-see Inactivating Products.

After you delete a product, you can specify a replacement product-see Replacing Deleted or Inactive Products.

To delete a product:

1. Go to CPQ > Configurator > Product Maintenance and select Edit next to a product.

2. Click Delete.

   Warning:

   In the next step, you'll confirm the deletion. You won't be able to undo this action. The product record and all its subrecords will be deleted from your NetSuite account.

3. Type DELETE and click Confirm to confirm the operation.
