Return orders are usually deleted after they are invoiced. When you post an invoice, it is transferred to the Posted Purchase Credit Memo window. If you selected the Return Shipment on Credit Memo check box in the Purchases & Payable Setup window, then the invoice is transferred to the Posted Return Shipment window.

In certain situations, you may need to delete invoiced purchase return orders that were not deleted or you may need to reduce the number of posted invoices. You can delete the documents using the Delete Invd Purch. Ret. Orders batch job.

To delete invoiced purchase return orders

  1. In the Search box, enter Delete Invoiced Purchase Return Orders, and then choose the related link.

  2. Set filters in the No., Buy-from Vendor No., and Pay-to Vendor No. fields to select the orders to be deleted.

  3. Choose the OK button.

Before deleting, the batch job checks if the purchase return orders are fully shipped and invoiced
