Fishbowl: "Cannot delete purchase order with status"

Purchase OrderPurchase Order detail view

What it means

The purchase order has reached a status in Fishbowl’s workflow that makes it undeletable. This is a standard safety mechanism designed to preserve audit trails and protect the integrity of order records.

What to check

  • Check the purchase order’s current status in your system (usually visible in the PO detail view or a dedicated status field)
  • Verify this status matches what you expected based on the order’s workflow
  • If the PO needs to be removed from active operations, consult your Fishbowl documentation or system administrator for alternatives to deletion
