In this video I'll show you how to clean up your inventory - delete items you created and haven't submitted yet, and why the system locks items that are already part of a process.
You can delete items. If you created an item and it's not processed, and it's not part of a submitted pickup request, you can delete it normally. In my case I cancelled the pickup request. If I show cancelled pickup requests, I'd see the cancelled 570 we created on this demo. If the item was just created, it's your item - you created it and you can delete it. You use the remove function right here, Remove the item, Remove. Sometimes the item can't be removed because it's already been processed - the reuse it team restricts you from removing it. For this item, it's connected to a draft pickup request, so the system prevents deletion. You can't delete something in the middle of the process. But if it's not in the middle - like this one, it's not under a pickup request - the system will allow you to remove it. The system prevents you from removing something you can't, but if it's just your item with nothing related, you're free to clean up your inventory list.
