Invoice unable to delete due to workflow error

All,

I have a pending invoice that failed 3 times the workflow, and now we are unable to do any edits or delete the invoice from the system. We decided just to create a new one and post the invoice. However, the original one is still in the system because the delete option is /Greyed out/.

You mention Supplier. Is this an invoice submitted via Vendor collaboration portal?

Invoice unable to delete due to workflow error

Hi,

As the invoice has the status 'In review', the delete option is not available. Are you sure all running workflow instances are canceled?

If there is no running instance, you can ask the partner to create a custom script to update the status. Thereafter the pending invoice should be possible to be deleted.

Hi Frank, Yes I have system adm rights. I even asked the supplier to check on their site if they were able to delete the invoice or do something about it, but they can't either delete or recall the workflow, and on their site is showing as "In Review".

Screenshot from supplier's site:

Do you have System admin rights? A System admin should see a Cancel button as well in Workflow history.

The cancel or recall option in the workflow is greyed out, the same with the delete option. Screenshots:

Hi,

If you have issue in workflow, restart the AOS services and validate your batches set for workflow. if workflow batches are good then recall your record and try to delete it.

I too agree when you encounter with this kind of issue, it is better to attached the screen in reported issue

Best Regards,

Hi,

If there is a issue in workflow, you can recall the workflow and delete the transaction.

Hi,

In addition to the question from Frank, can you also share the error details for this workflow instance?

Can you cancel or recall the workflow? If so, you should be able to delete the invoice afterward.
