To delete a PO Line, you will need to have the Purchasing Operator Extended role to perform this action. According to the Ex Libris Knowledgebase, “Deleting a PO Line removes it from Alma and deletes any transactions associated with the PO Line.” It will also delete any inventory resource associated with the PO line; however, deleting an additional PO line does not delete the inventory. It is primarily performed to clean up the system.
The Delete option is available for PO Lines with the following statuses:
In Review
Packaging (Automatic or Manual)
Deferred or Cancelled
A PO line cannot be deleted if:
It is linked to an invoice line.
It is attached to a PO and has been sent to a vendor.
It is a main PO line and one of the PO line resources was received or activated.
Once a PO line is deleted, it is final. It cannot be retrieved or reopened.
