Discontinued Products

Overview

When products are marked as discontinued, it typically indicates that the supplier has ceased production of those items and they have reached the end of their lifecycle in your inventory. The Discontinued status of a product is an internal Sellercloud status primarily used to prevent the ordering of products that are no longer being produced.

In contrast to items with an Inactive status, discontinued products won’t be excluded from most default searches. They will appear in the grid with their rows highlighted in red for easy identification.

The discontinued status in Sellercloud is intended for internal reference only.
Discontinued SKUs cannot be added to Purchase Orders and will not display results in Predictive Purchasing.
