# Fishbowl: Delete purchase order confirmation

> Fishbowl is asking you to confirm deletion of a purchase order.

## What it means
Fishbowl displays this dialog whenever you attempt to delete a purchase order. The %s in the message is replaced with the specific PO number or identifier you're deleting. This is a safety confirmation step because deletion is permanent and cannot be reversed.

## What to check
- Verify the PO number shown is the correct one you want to delete
- Check the PO's current status—you typically cannot delete purchase orders that have received goods against them or have been posted to accounting
- Confirm you actually intend to delete this PO before proceeding
