Discontinued Items

Discontinued items work as follows:

 

1. Items that have stock and are updated by a manufacturer will remain active items on the website to a web guest, they are searchable and can come up in results.  This is for web guests and accounts (anyone with a login).

 

2. Once a manufacturer is no longer providing an update to us or if they explicitly specify an item is discontinued then we will mark that as such in our system.  If they still have manufacturer stock, this will stay active until the item no longer shows manufacturer stock quantities.  Once it is out of stock and discontinued it will no longer show up on the website for web guests and accounts (anyone with a login).

 

3. If you still have stock or quantities of these discontinued items and want them to display on the website, you can assign an attribute to them.  Any item with an attribute will still show as an active item to web guests and accounts (anyone with a login).

 

* Discontinued items will always show to sales reps and admins who login to the backend of the system.
