Currently you cannot make a stock item inactive if it is used on a BOM, even if the BOM is Obsolete or Retired Request to allow a Stock Item to be made inactive if a BOM is retired NB:- As an Engineering Company we are creating individual Stock Items to manage revisions at part level and also BOM level, we are not requiring that a stock item is deleted just a way of indicating it is not current Thank you Gary

This would make life much easier. There is a need to be able to keep the BoM even if we want to make the item inactive. I always assumed that this was a bug where, correctly, you shouldn't be able to make a stock item inactive if it appears on a BoM; but has been implemented incorrectly if the stock item has a BoM.
