Fishbowl: "PO cannot be deleted"

What it means

You’re trying to delete a purchase order, but Fishbowl is blocking the deletion because it’s in a protected status. Once a PO moves into certain statuses—usually after receipt, invoice matching, or closure—it can’t be deleted to maintain audit and financial integrity.

What to check

• Look at the PO’s current status in its detail view
• Check whether goods have been received against this PO
• Verify if the PO has been matched to an invoice or payment
• Consider whether you need to void or archive the PO instead of deleting it
