Q: What's the best way to clean up old inventory items without any activity?

A: The best way to clean up old inventory items without any activity is to turn on Yellow Dog’s system setting “Mark Items with No Recent Activity as Removed”. It helps you keep your inventory clean by automatically clearing out items that haven’t had activity within your chosen date range. Removing inactive items from inventory in Yellow Dog is important because it prevents outdated or unused products from skewing reports and cluttering searches. This ensures cleaner data, more accurate reporting, and faster day-to-day operations for staff.
