Replace Inactive items on Combinations

When an item is made inactive for whatever reason and it is part of a combination, the item can be replaced with a new one within the same combination by just replacing the code of the old item with a new active one. It is not necessary to re-create new combinations after an item has been made inactive. This saves time and assists with billing efficiency.
