Preventing discontinued products in Purchase Orders

Omnium supports setting a discontinued date on products. This feature helps you manage product lifecycles and prevents discontinued products from being added to purchase orders.

Add a discontinued date

• Open the product in the product overview.

• Enter a discontinued date in the designated field.

• Save the product.
  
  
  

Filter by discontinued date

In the product list, you can filter to see:

• Products with a future discontinued date.

• Products that have already been discontinued.
  
  

Warning icon on discontinued products

When a product has passed its discontinued date, it will be marked with a warning icon in the product list.
 

Validation in purchase orders

And paste in the JSON below.

{
  "name": "ProductDiscontinuationValidator",
  "displayName": "ProductDiscontinuationValidator",
  "isAuthenticatedManually": false,
  "timeOut": "00:00:00",

  ],
  "properties": [],
  "disableStandardErrorPolicy": false,
