To show hidden/deactivated records
- Open the record (Product, Customer, or Vendor).
- Click one of the filter items with your left mouse button and choose Show from the drop-down list (see above)
- Set the filter option to Inactive to show inactive products (to see all products regardless of if they’re active or inactive, choose Show All instead)
- At this point, if you want to re-activate the record, double-click on it.
- Click the Reactivate button in the top action bar to reactivate the item.


Reactivating customers and vendors also works in the same fashion from their respective lists. Just go to Main Menu > Sales > Customer List or Main Menu > Purchasing > Vendor List and follow the same steps above.
