How to delete an item, and what gets removed with it
Only an Admin can delete an item. Because stock movements, batches, recipes, production runs and sales reference it, deleting the item removes those too, and Jogan lists the exact counts before you confirm. To keep the item but reset it to zero, use Clear stock history and activity, which removes the same history while keeping the item row.
Deleting is rare and deliberate in Jogan. Most of the time you want one of the alternatives below.
Alternatives first
- Stop selling something: just stop recording sales of it. Set its minimum stock to 0 so it does not appear in Low stock.
- Start fresh on an item's stock (a botched import, a wrong opening balance): Items → Delete options → Clear stock history & activity. The item row itself stays (name, unit and prices), but everything built on its stock history is removed: movements, batches, the recipes it produces (and its lines in other recipes), production runs and any sales of it. Stock resets to zero. Jogan lists exactly what will go before you confirm.
- Fix one wrong entry: see How to fix a mistake.
Deleting the item
- As an Admin, open Items and click Delete options on the row, then choose delete.
- Jogan shows what will go with it: stock movements, batches, recipes deleted (where the item is the output) and recipe lines removed (where it is a component), production runs, and sales or sale lines.
- Confirm. Everything listed is removed in one transaction and affected items' stock is recalculated.
Why so much goes with it
Every one of those records points at the item. Leaving a sale line pointing at nothing would corrupt reports, so Jogan removes exactly what would otherwise dangle, and nothing more. Deleting a recipe, by contrast, removes only the recipe, because runs and sales already made do not depend on it.
Who can do this
Admins only. Members see the row but not the delete options. See Team roles explained.
