Adjust Inventory Out Before Inactivate?
Can anyone please confirm if it is best practice to adjust inventory to 0qty on an Inventory item record prior to Inactivating that record? If yes, why/what are the benefits in doing so?
For this particular instance, the Average Cost on the Item is at $0 and there is no actual physical stock to be rid of. In other words, the number "in inventory" is just a dummy number.
I'm asking for the detailed "why" because in the future, we will need to inactivate items with actual Average Costs listed and actual stock on hand.
I realize this is probably a very basic question, but I just can't find it noted anywhere, and I'm neither an accounting or inventory person.
