Record Menu - Delete

Use the 'Delete' command on the Record menu when you need to delete, i.e. remove, an existing record. The record must be of a type that you can remove - you cannot remove records such as Invoices and Nominal Ledger Transactions once completed, and you cannot remove Customers or Items once you have used them in Invoices or in stock transactions. You must open a record in the record window to be able to delete it. The only exception to this rule is that you must delete Mails from the browse window.

When you delete a record, the next record in the register is displayed.

Remember that you cannot undo the deletion of a record.


When you use the 'Delete' command, you will usually not be asked if you are sure you want to go ahead with the deletion. If you would like such a warning to appear, select the Prompt When Deleting option in the Local Machine setting in the User Settings module. In a multi-user system, you will need to choose this option separately on each client machine.

In multi-user systems, you can prevent certain users from deleting records using Access Groups (by denying access to the 'Delete Records' and/or 'Deleting Records from Shared Registers' Actions).
