| Please Note! This will also break any links to listings mapped to this inventory item. Deleted inventory items cannot be restored, they will need to be re-created including all associated extended properties, listing mapping, listing templates, images, supplier details and channel specific titles, descriptions and prices. If the item being deleted is a composite child, then it will be automatically removed from the composite parent item and stock levels for the parent item will be recalculated, based on the availability of the child items still linked to the parent. If the composite parent no longer has any children, the level will become zero and any linked listings will end. |
