(Old) Setting a Pending Purchase Order for Overnight Deletion

You can set an unwanted Pending purchase order to be deleted automatically overnight.  The purchase order must be in a Pending status. Activated purchase orders can not be deleted. Activated purchase orders can, instead, be cancelled, and will remain in the system as part of the money trail. See Cancelling Orders for more information.

To set your Pending purchase order to be deleted automatically, do the following:

Select all line items by clicking on the blue check mark at the top of the checkbox column.

Click on the PO Actions menu

Select Delete Selected Items.

The line items will disappear.

Click on the Refresh button at the to of the page.

The Total Lineitems should reset to 0

Click on the blue PO Name link  

In the dialog box that appears, add a space and the word “delete” after after the name. The “name” could be the PO ID or a name you entered previously.

The Name in the PO will update.

The purchase order will be deleted overnight.
