Delete Purchase Documents

You can delete a purchase document at any time, even it has already made certain postings and accounting transactions or has been updated to other purchase documents.

Deleting a purchase document will not affect data entered in other documents created from it.

Although the purchase documents occupy fixed positions in the sequential purchase process, they are relatively independent documents, and you can delete the documents from which you have created the subsequent purchase documents without distorting the purchase process or causing any errors in the system.

Note: However, you cannot delete a purchase invoice with reference to which a debit note was created.

The following procedure demonstrates how to delete purchase quotations. All other purchase documents are deleted the same way.

1. On the Codejig ERP Main menu, go to Purchase module, then select Purchase quotation. 

Listing page of the Purchase quotation document opens.

2. On the listing page, select a table entry summarizing a quotation you want to delete.

3. Click the Selected button.

4. On the Actions menu, click Delete, and then click Yes.


Deleting Posted Purchase Documents

Deleting a posted purchase document will result in it being unposted and all inventory or accounting changes being reverted.

Note: Deleting or updating a posted purchase document causes batch reposting of all other documents that have later posting date and time. Posting date and time is the current date and time when a purchase document was created.
