!WARNING! : Be extremely careful when using this option. This option is normally used in situations where an error has been made while creating a new item code. The new item has been created and programmed, but with the wrong code. Since the new item has not been sold in the system, there are no serious effects.
Before using this action, you should consider these factors:
·Although occasionally necessary because manufacturers sometimes change their product's UPC, the repercussions of this action are serious. In such cases, you should use the Copy option, creating a new code with the same information as the old code. In this way, you can continue to sell the old code. ·The item's sales history is linked to the old code. The Modify option actually deletes the old code from the database, so when you view item sales reports that contain the old code, the code will appear without a description.

When you are sure that you will no longer sell an item (or the item is never used), you can remove it from the database. When items that have sales are removed from the database, they will still show up in the item sales reports, but the deleted items will have no descriptor. To remove items from the database:
Extract the item, then use the 
delete tool on the toolbar to remove it.
