Making Products Inactive

QuoteCloud includes a feature to show "inactive" products in its product catalog for a few important reasons:

1. Historical Data Reference:

   • Businesses may have sold or offered certain products in the past that are no longer available. Keeping these products in the catalog as "inactive" allows users to reference them for historical data, reporting, or re-issuing old documents.

2. Reactivation:

   • Sometimes, products might be temporarily discontinued or paused due to supply chain issues, seasonal availability, or other reasons. Marking a product as "inactive" rather than deleting it allows for easy reactivation if the product becomes available again.

3. Audit and Compliance:

   • For some businesses, it’s crucial to maintain records of all products offered, even those no longer in use, for audit purposes. This feature ensures that the records remain intact without cluttering the active product list.

4. Preservation of Linked Documents:

   • If a product is linked to existing documents, quotes, or contracts, marking it as "inactive" ensures that those documents remain consistent and unaltered, even if the product is no longer in the active catalog.

5. Organization and Management:

   • This feature helps businesses manage their product catalog more effectively by separating active products from inactive ones, making it easier to focus on current offerings without losing track of past products.
