Archive Unused Products
This process is used when Products/SKUs in the Products list are no longer being used or created. You can view all archived (hidden) products by selecting Show Archive on the Products page. The reason we do not simply 'delete' a Product is due to the fact that historical data is tied to that product detail object. Deleting a Product that has Lots tied to it will create orphan product data.
