Delete Multiple Inactive Stock items Merged

We have migrated from 50 to 200. In 50 at year end we were able to run a report listing any inactive stock cards which following a clear audit trail allowed us to delete stock cards no longer used. This is sensible housekeeping. The only option I can find in 200 is to individually delete stock cards and there doesn't appear to be any procedure to highlight stock cards that should be made obsolete.

In 50 we were able to highlight multiple stock cards and bulk change attributes including change of status from active to inactive.

With over 8000 SKUS and growing this is a problem for us to manage going forward - and I don't understand why this like so many other excellent features on 50 are not available on 200.
