Removing or inactivating activities

Time Billing Activities Overview > Removing or inactivating activities

If you have activities that you no longer use, inactivating them will remove them from the selection windows. Your list of activities will be shorter, and selecting the activity you need will be easier.

If an activity is marked inactive, however, you may still use the activity in transactions by manually entering the activity. Inactive activities will still appear in the Activities List window. You can also return the status of the activity to active so that it will appear again in the selection windows. No matter what the status of an activity -- active or inactive, transactions recorded using the activity will still affect all of your financial records.

The Activities List report will be displayed and will print activity information with or without inactive activities. Use the Report Customisation window to unmark or mark the selection Include Inactive Activities.

If you have an activity for which you haven't entered any activity slips, you can quickly remove its record from the MYOB Accounting Plus system. You can't delete an activity until all the activity slips you've recorded for it have been purged. Once the activity slips are purged, you can remove the activity. See To purge activity slips for more information.
