Overview
There is only one way to delete sales reps in Fincon Accounting and that is in the Delete Codes/Accounts/Item Numbers window which is explained later in this guide.
Fincon Accounting allows you to delete a sales rep when there is no reference of it on the system in the current financial year, in other words, the sales rep is not present on any transactions within the current financial year.
"Current Financial Year" in this context means period 1 to 24 in the "Current" year.
When you delete sales reps you will be able to recall them if you have not reindexed and packed the data files. The sales rep will remain on the system until you complete the process by reindexing and packing the data files.
