Deactivating an Account

Deactivating an account prevents the account from being displayed in the Account Lookup window. This is a useful feature due to the fact that some accounts cannot be deleted from the database. Many times accounts cannot be deleted due to inventory information and other important items in the account. It is also an advantage to deactivate an account instead of deleting as they may be someone who has not come into the store in a long time but if they do come back, it is easier to re-activate their account instead of creating a new one.

To Deactivate an Account

  1. In Liberty Inventory, Lookup the account.
