Temporarily block Item sales

This topic describes how to temporarily block sales for an item.

Your store might need to temporarily block sales of an item:

• If the item is new to your store and you need to set up pricing, discounts, supplier information, and reordering information in Store Manager and print labels;

• If there are restrictions on when you can sell the item in your locale. For example, some locales restrict the days and times when stores can sell alcohol; or

• If there was a product recall issued by a manufacturer or health authority.

This topic describes how to block sales for a single item. You can also use Task 5040: Block Sales in the Inventory Wizard to block sales of multiple items based on department, category, supplier, or a custom filter.
