4.6. Deleting Purchase Orders

Last Updated 11/29/2023


To Delete Purchase Orders Created in Error

Purchase Orders cannot be deleted manually from within the staff client. 

Purchase orders that meet all the following criteria are automatically deleted from the database daily.

  • The purchase order has the state of Pending
  • The purchase order is empty, has no line items or charges
  • The purchase order has the word DELETE at the beginning of its name

This process can be used to delete purchase orders created in error. It will not remove purchase orders that are old, and no longer actively needed. Once an order has been activated, it is no longer eligible for deletion.
