(New) Setting a 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 Canceling Orders for more information.

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

  1. Select all line items by checking off the All Line Items checkbox. The Line Items In Page checkbox will be checked off automatically.
  2. Click on the PO Actions menu and select Delete Selected Line Items.
  3. A confirmation dialog box will appear listing the IDs of the selected line items.
  4. Click Apply to continue or Exit Dialog to abort the process.
  5. The line items will disappear.
  6. Click on the blue link next to PO Name.
  7. In the 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 purchase order will be deleted overnight.
