Delete a purchase order

Created on  | Last modified on 

Summary

Correct or delete incorrectly updated purchase orders in Sage 50 Accounts Professional.

Description

Correct despatched purchase orders based on the invoice status, as updating a purchase order involves several processes.

Resolution

Deleting your orders

Delete purchase orders to correct mistakes, cancel orders, or remove old and unwanted orders.

If a purchase order has a Delivered status of Part or Complete, deleting the purchase order doesn't adjust stock levels of the product records.

  1. Select Purchase orders and select the orders you want to remove.
  2. To remove the selected items, press Delete.

    A confirmation window asks whether you want to delete all selected orders, including those not ordered, delivered, or posted.

  3. Press Yes.

Adjusting the relevant stock records

Sage 50 Accounts uses FIFO, which removes the oldest stock first. Because of this, you can't post an Adjustment Out (AO) for incorrectly delivered quantities.

Read about the exact method in our adjust stock records after deleting or reversing a purchase order article. 

To correct the purchase invoice

If you've updated and delivered the order, the purchase invoice could be incorrect. Delete the original invoice, then update the purchase order to re-post the invoice.
