If you didn't have the process or personnel in place when you started using Inventory, there may be inaccuracies that need to be cleaned up. There is not a quick way to delete all your Inventory, the following three steps must be performed.

Complete all three steps. Leaving out the first two will cause the same problems in the future.

STEP 1: Clean up any old Purchase Orders.

Once your Inventory is cleaned up, follow a process to keep it accurate. Delegate the allocation and consumption of Inventory to one person, like the shop manager, and assign a back-up person.
