How To: Delete SCS Child Stock Items


WARNING icon
 Deleting SCS Child Stock Items is an Advanced User feature.

It is possible to delete all of the child stock items for an SCS parent in one action or to delete child SCS items entered in error but keeping others.
Note: deleting SCS child stock items can only be used to correct problems found immediately after generating the child stock items; it is not possible to delete a stock item once it has been used in Khaos Control (e.g. it is linked to a sales order).

If you wish to keep the child stock items after they have been generated, but remove the link to the parent item, see How To: Remove the Link between the SCS Parent and Child Stock Items.
