What is the best way to stop Items being marked inactive when there is still stock in a location or bin?

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

To prevent items from being marked as inactive when there is still stock in a location or bin, you can use the Inventory Status feature in NetSuite. This feature allows you to mark an inventory as available or unavailable. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to use this feature: 1. Navigate to the item record that you want to prevent from being marked as inactive. 2. Go to the 'Inventory' subtab. 3. In the 'Inventory Status' field, select 'Unavailable'. 4. Save the changes. By marking the inventory status as 'Unavailable', the item will not be considered for transactions, effectively preventing it from being marked as inactive while there is still stock in a location or bin. Another approach is to create a separate location for items that you want to prevent from being marked as inactive. You can then set the 'Make Inventory Available' option to 'False' for this location. This will ensure that the items in this location are not considered for transactions, thus preventing them from being marked as inactive. Remember to transfer the inventory from the original location to the new location to ensure accurate inventory tracking. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
