Variants can't be removed directly within Inventory Planner. To delete a variant in Inventory Planner, you would have to remove the variant on your connected platform then wait for it to be removed during the next sync.
However, instead of deleting a variant, you can mark it as non-replenishable in Inventory Planner then use filters to remove it from view.
You can mark any variant you don't keep in stock as non-replenishable, including drop-shipped or discontinued items.
Note: The replenishment status is account-wide, so an item marked as non-replenishable in one warehouse will be non-replenishable in all warehouses within Inventory Planner.
Setting the replenishment status
Setting a non-replenishable status
To set products as non-replenishable, go to the Replenishment report and select the items you wish to edit.
Click Bulk Actions > Set non-replenishable.
In the popup, you'll be given the option to make the non-replenishable status temporary - for example, if your supplier is temporarily ceasing production on some items. You can set an end date for the status, or choose to have it apply for a week, a month, or a three month period.
Leave the "Temporary" checkbox unticked if you want the non-replenishable status to persist.β

Once you're happy with your settings, click "Apply".
You can also set the non-replenishable status from Catalog > Forecast settings. Select the variants to update, then click Bulk actions > Set non-replenishable.
Note: Setting a variant to non-replenishable only affects the replenishment number for a variant and any associated forecasting metrics.
If you want metrics for a particular variant to be removed from your overall reporting, such as at the total level in the KPI report, you must remove the variant in your connected platform, which will then remove it in Inventory Planner.
Setting a replenishable status
The Replenishable report only displays replenishable items by default. If you want to view items that are non-replenishable, remove the "Replenishable" filter at the top of the page.
Then select the items you wish to make replenishable. Click Bulk Actions > Set replenishable.
You can also set the replenishable status from Catalog > Forecast settings. Select the variants to update, then click Bulk actions > Set replenishable.
Importing the replenishable status
If you have a spreadsheet of variants (SKUs) whose replenishable status you want to change, you can import the information into Inventory Planner.
