# Deactivate inventory locations

## Problem

Users may encounter problems deactivating inventory locations due to pending purchase orders, negative quantities and active trucks.

2. Click on the *Warehouse Name* to see all items.
3. If there are any negative numbers in the *Total Qty* column they need to be cleared, see below.
4. If there are any positive numbers in the *Qty on Order* column, the pending purchase order must be updated.
5. Click on **Back to Warehouses**
6. Click on the **Trucks** tab
7. In the *Warehouse* filter dropdown, select the checkbox next to the warehouse and click **Apply**.
