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.

The Delete option is available for PO Lines with the following statuses:

  • In Review
  • Packaging (Automatic or Manual)
  • Deferred, Canceled, or Close
     

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.

Steps to delete a PO line:

  1. Select Delete in the PO line’s row action list
  2. Select Confirm in the confirmation dialog box.
  3. The PO line is deleted.
