Discontinued Items and Publication

nancyVigo — Tue, 06 Feb 2024 16:47:49 GMT

Good morning team!

I have a number of inactive items that need to be deleted from publications.

What would be a good lead way as far as the "Discontinued Date" to give the system enough time to finish the deletion process before that future date is in effect?

Thanks in advance!

Hello @nancyVigo most, not all, recipient master subscriptions run every hour or two. If you set a future discontinued date then they should receive that date within a couple of hours of you adding it and saving.

@CommunityJedi22, thanks for the prompt response!

So, should I set the future date first, then delete subscriptions?

Hello @nancyVigo I recommend you take a look at this one as there is definitely a best practice on doing this without impacting your catalog and reporting: https://community.1worldsync.com/t5/IM-Knowledge/Discontinued-Date-Definitive-Thoughts-amp-Best-Practices-for/ta-p/7880
