Fishbowl: "Cannot remove bill, please post to"

What it means

You’re trying to remove or delete a bill, but Fishbowl won’t allow it in the bill’s current state. The message indicates the bill must be posted first. This usually occurs when a bill hasn’t yet been formally posted to your accounting ledger, or when it’s tied to other transactions that block deletion.

What to check

• Is the bill in draft status? It may need to be posted to the general ledger first before deletion is allowed.
• Check the bill’s current posting status in the bill details pane.
• Verify the bill isn’t linked to paid invoices or received purchase order items that prevent removal.
• If the error message text continues beyond “post to,” that specification may indicate which account or period to post to.
