Ability to archive a product to a date
It would be great if you could 'archive' a product to a date so for example, we may have a product that is out of stock until 1st September 2023, we therefore don't want to keep seeing it on the Purchase Order daily and removing it/writing it off so it would be great if you could set the 1st September 2023 as a date for the item to unarchive/become available again. This would then allow a level of automation for out of stock products and seasonal products that you may want to hide for a period of the year then release on a set date.
Think it would be a really useful feature addition to the archived button, as at the moment it's still heavily manual (we do not use archive for this reason as it's almost pointless) it would also help avoid the need to make notes for each product /adding to a calendar when something is due back in stock. If this is too tricky an additional feature could be added as say an Out Of Stock/Restock date which would work in the same way.

We are waiting for more votes on this but we can see value.

This would be very useful for our seasonal products. Once they're sold out for the season there's no more until next season, so we want to hide it. Currently we don't archive it for the same reasons above, and end up seeing loads of products that "need" ordering, even though we know there's none available.
