We had this same problem with bins and warehouses, but in our case we did not care about the history. We are using SQL, and the only solution I came up with which is
not recommended
was to write some queries to sort through the tables and delete the entries with the partnum, warehousecode and binnum that we wanted removed.Â
Have not had any problems except for the occasional part that was suppose to me in the warehouse that the supervisor said to delete, but I made sure to copy each table I edited to another database before I did anything so it was easy to replace the data if needed.Â
In the end I cleaned up about 3 gigs of data from the database, most of it from the parttran table. So no more warehouses named Prodiction, Pruduction, Priduction, Prodt
A dictionary is a terrible thing to waste!
Like I said, not recommended and not supported but it can be done.Â

Yes, I remember running into that now. I ended having to add the bin id to the description, so for example the description for bin 10A became "Obsolete 10A." I can understand not being able to delete a bin if it's referenced in the transaction history, for database integrity reasons, but not being able to make a bin inactive is ridiculous.

Daniel,
You are correct in that you cannot delete a bin if there is any
previous transaction associated with it.
In 8.03.305, you will run into trouble trying to rename a bin
as "obsolete" as the description has to be unique too...!
What a pain!

parts. Vantage will advise "Delete not allowed, referenced by at
least one inventory transaction. "
