Hide a product in Kentico 10 - kentico

Question

I am performing CRUD operations for products of e-commerce site in kentico 10.I can add and update products using below API
SKUInfoProvider.SetSKUInfo(updateProduct);
Also there is an API for deleting product
SKUInfoProvider.DeleteSKUInfo(updateProduct);
But I do not wish to delete the product from database,rather just disable them so that they do not show up to the end users and still stay in the database .
I tried to set SKUEnabled as false but still user can see the product.So, I used below code to hide the products
ProductNode.SetValue("DocumentPublishTo", DateTime.Now.AddDays(-1));
But my code setup adds a new product with above disabled property.Here is my code
foreach (DataRow dr in dt.Rows)
{
manufacturer = GetManufacturer(Convert.ToString(dr["MANUFACTURER_NAME"]));
department = GetDepartment(Convert.ToString(dr["CATEGORY_OF_PRODUCT_1"]));
var sku = new SKUInfo
{
SKUNumber = Convert.ToString(dr["MANUFACTURER_PART_NUMBER"]),
SKUName = Convert.ToString(dr["MANUFACTURER_PART_NUMBER"]),
SKUDescription = Convert.ToString(dr["TECHNICAL_SPECIFICATIONS"]).Trim('"'),
SKUShortDescription = Convert.ToString(dr["SHORT_DESCRIPTION"]).Trim('"'),
SKUPrice = ValidationHelper.GetDouble(dr["RESELLER_BUY_INC"], 0),
SKURetailPrice = ValidationHelper.GetDouble(dr["RRP_INC"], 0),
SKUEnabled = false,
SKUSiteID = siteId,
SKUProductType = SKUProductTypeEnum.Product,
SKUManufacturerID = manufacturer.ManufacturerID,
SKUDepartmentID = department.DepartmentID,
SKUHeight = ValidationHelper.GetDouble(dr["HEIGHT"], 0),
SKUWidth = ValidationHelper.GetDouble(dr["WIDTH"], 0),
SKUWeight = ValidationHelper.GetDouble(dr["WEIGHT"], 0),
SKUDepth = ValidationHelper.GetDouble(dr["LENGTH"], 0),
SKUAvailableItems = 1,
SKUSellOnlyAvailable = true
};
try
{
SKUInfo updateProduct = SKUInfoProvider.GetSKUs()
.WhereEquals("SKUNumber", sku.SKUNumber)
.FirstObject;
sku.SKUPrice += sku.SKUPrice * 0.015;
if (updateProduct != null)
{
updateProduct.SKUNumber = sku.SKUNumber; updateProduct.SKUName = sku.SKUName;
SKUInfoProvider.SetSKUInfo(updateProduct);
}
else
{
SKUInfoProvider.SetSKUInfo(sku);
}
if (!sku.SKUEnabled)
{
SKUTreeNode productDoc = (SKUTreeNode)SKUTreeNode.New(productDocumentType.ClassName, tree);
if (sku.SKUEnabled == false)
{
productDoc.DocumentPublishTo = DateTime.Now.AddDays(-1);
}
productDoc.DocumentSKUName = Convert.ToString(dr["MANUFACTURER_PART_NUMBER"]);
productDoc.DocumentSKUDescription = sku.SKUDescription;
productDoc.NodeSKUID = sku.SKUID;
productDoc.DocumentCulture = cultureCode;
productDoc.DocumentName = Convert.ToString(dr["MANUFACTURER_PART_NUMBER"]);
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
error += "error";
}
}
Please provide the possible solution.There ain't no property such as DocumentPublishTo in SKUInfo,hence I used it with SKUTreeNode which you can find in code setup.
SKUTreeNode productDoc = (SKUTreeNode)SKUTreeNode.New(productDocumentType.ClassName, tree);
if (sku.SKUEnabled == false)
{
productDoc.DocumentPublishTo = DateTime.Now.AddDays(-1);
}

You need to get the node for the SKU, not create a new one. from the documentation :
SKUTreeNode productDoc = (SKUTreeNode)tree.SelectNodes()
.Path("/Products/NewProduct")
.OnCurrentSite()
.CombineWithDefaultCulture()
.FirstObject;
productDoc.DocumentPublishTo = DateTime.Now.AddDays(-1)
