Error message when trying to remove a vendor from item

Posted on by 55

I have followed the instructions in the manual for removing a vendor assignment from an item, but I receive an error message stating "You can't delete this item: it is being used on a purchase order".

It appears that the system thinks I am trying to delete an item, but again, this is following the directions in the manual as well as in the help section of GP.

    Hi Alicia,

    You've probably long since resolved or moved on from this issue but, I figured out how to resolve this error and remove the vendor assignment from an item.  After removing the item from any open PO for that vendor, you also need to move any closed/canceled PO's for that vendor that include that item.  Do so on the Remove Completed PO's window.  Then, you should be able to remove the vendor assignment from the item.

    Alicia,

    You may still be experiencing this issue because there may be history records for this item/site combination. If this is the case, there are a good number of tables that you will have to delete the item/site record combination assuming that is, that this is just a test.

    Thanks for the tip.

    I tried deleting this item from all open PO's in my test company, however, I still receive that same error message.

     Any ideas?

    That's correct! Presumably, Frank was implying that, after removing the relationship, you will need to have a valid vendor assigned to the item to be able to order it from someone else.

    Excellent Idea Frank. But I have small doubt in this answer.

    After delete the Item/Vendor relationship, How we can add  item back to PO without  Item/Vendor relationship.

    I am not wrong,  it may be arise the following warning.

    "This item hasn't assigned a vendor item.Do you want assign a vendor item Number?"

    Regards

    Alicia, the system won't let you delete an item that is on a PO.  Delete the item from any open PO(s), then delete the Item/Vendor relationship, then add the item back to the PO(s).

    Hope this helps,
