Catalog Items may be Active or Inactive, meaning these catalog items will be hidden from quick searches. If you want to prevent orders being processed for Inactive Catalog Items we can enable such a validation. Discuss this with Support or a Client Relationship Manager. |

Note:Wildcards cannot be used for System ID fields.
