📖 Detailed step by step on How to Pause Items?

Setting a Timeframe

Start & End Date – The item will be unavailable starting from the selected start date and will automatically become available again when the pause ends.

Start Date Only – The item will remain unavailable indefinitely until manually reactivated.

Exporting Data

Need to review pausing information in a spreadsheet? You can download the item list—including paused items—directly from the side menu.

Things to Keep in Mind

Recipes won’t be paused – Pausing an item won’t automatically pause recipes that use it, so double-check before making changes, if a paused item is in a recipe the stock will continue to be deducted as normal

Pausing applies to all locations – At the moment, you can’t pause an item for a specific location; the pause applies across all locations.
