# Fishbowl: Delete confirmation for purchase orders

> Confirmation dialog when attempting to delete one or more purchase order records or line items.

## What it means

You initiated a delete action on selected purchase order records or line items, and Fishbowl is asking for confirmation before proceeding. This safeguard prevents accidental deletions.

## What to check

- Verify the correct PO(s) or line items are selected—review PO numbers, vendors, and quantities before confirming.
- Confirm deletion is what you intend (rather than canceling or archiving the order, which preserve a record).
- Check whether the purchase order's status allows deletion. Typically drafts or early-stage orders can be deleted; locked or received status usually blocks it.
