Deleting products has various effects on your shop:
The related stock movements are irrevocably deleted.
All associated database entries are removed. This deletes the product for the entire period of the valuated stock. Retroactive analyses of the valuated stock are thereby irrevocably distorted.
Returns for orders that contain deleted products can still be created, but no stock can be booked.
Analyses based on products (e.g. return rate, products by revenue, etc.) are distorted, since the deleted products disappear from the analyses.
We therefore strongly recommend that you never delete products, but only deactivate them. You can do this in the product details, in the Basic information (Stammdaten) tab.
