Delete a Record or Transaction

How Do I...

Use this procedure to remove a record (for example, employees, inventory items, customers, or vendors).

  1. Open the record or transaction in its maintenance or task window.
  2. Select the Delete toolbar button to remove the record or transactions.

If the record has outstanding transactions associated with it, you will not be allowed to delete the record. For example, you cannot delete a customer if there are invoices that reference that customer.

If the transaction has a "partner," you cannot delete the transaction. For example, you cannot delete a sales invoice if a receipt has been applied to it. Once you delete the receipt, you can delete the invoice.
