-When deleting items from a master list, mSupply will first check all stores using the master list to make sure it is safe to remove that item. It is unsafe if the item has //stock on hand and isn't included in another master list// for any stores using master list you are editing. +When deleting items from a master list no checks are made about whether items have stock in any stores using that master list to control item visibility. The items will become invisible in those stores (so they cannot be re-ordered for example) but the stock **will not**. All stock in stores can be issued on a customer invoice or prescription, or included in inventory adjustments and stocktakes, regardless of whether the item is invisible or not. **It is impossible to hide stock in mSupply!**
