When you have fully received and invoiced a purchase order in Business Central, you can clean it out of your active list of orders. The system includes a built-in batch job for exactly this purpose, so you don’t have to keep finished purchase orders cluttering your overview.
How to delete invoiced purchase orders in Business Central
Once a purchase order is completely received and invoiced, you are done with it and can delete it. Here is how to do it:
- Search for Delete Invoiced Purchase Orders and open the report.
- Specify the purchase order you want to delete, or leave the filter open to run it for all your invoiced purchase orders at once.
- Click OK to run the batch job.
The purchase order is then removed. If you only want to clean up a single order, just enter that order number as a filter. If you want a broader cleanup, you can run it across all invoiced purchase orders in one go.
