Effects of removing a vending machine #
When you remove a vending machine from Sentry:
- Modem is unassigned: Any modem attached to it will be unassigned and re-appear in the communication device list. If you also want to remove the modem, you should go to the communication device and delete it as well.
- Sales are preserved: Sales for the vending machine will still appear in reports. For example, if you run a report based on location or client, sales for the machine will still appear.
- Machine is removed from selectors: The machine will not appear in dropdowns, so you will not be able to filter reports by the machine.
