I have a PO with lines that will not be received as the supplier does not stock the item anymore. The items that the supplier does stock have been receipted in and invoiced. How do I delete the remaining lines from the PO that will not be received?

When trying to delete I get the following error:

Gareth

Hi,

Just be on the line on that PO and try to delete that from the Line level, there should not be any issue.

Hi, Nitin is right, in the standard function, as long as you have not posted data in this line (Shipment or Invoice), you can delete the line individually.

Hope this helps as well.

Thanks.

We get the following error when performing the delete.

Qty to Invoice must have a value in purchase line.

As you can see from the first screen shot nothing is posted on that line.

I don't have this problem in my standard environment. Are there other extensions installed?

Not sure why, but if the system needs a value in that column, You can add a Value and then try to delete the line :)

This does not look like standard behavior in the system.

If you have any customizations done to your system you should contact your developer and have them debug this together with you.

RE: Delete lines from PO

Hi Gareth,

Will you please check how many lines are there in the purchase order, because based on the error it's stating line no. 100000, it means please check the line no. 10. As you know that in business central line number start with 10000, 20000, 30000 and so on.

If PO contains only 2 lines, then there is a customization taken placed, which you need to check with your developer.

I hope this information is helpful for you.

Thank you

Thanks All for your help. I'll work through this one with our support team as it appears as most have pointed out this is not standard behaviour.

Thanks again.

Hi All,

We actually find a workaround for this. You can change the Type from an Item to a comment and then delete the comment. I'm still looking into what custom code is causing this but because if the workaround it has slipped down the priority list.

Thanks for the help.

Cheers,

Gareth
