In this article:

Understanding Projects with Sourcing

You cannot delete projects with sourcing because any sourced product has associated transactions that remain in the system. To "delete" a project after sourcing, you must complete the project. Completing an incomplete project requires specific steps because a project must Meet all project requirements to be completed. The two most common issues for completing an incomplete project are the sourced product and the invoice balance.

Unsourcing the Product

You must handle the sourced product appropriately so it is no longer associated with the project. To dissociate sourced product from a project, Unsource all the sourced product and Complete any pool to stock, pool to garbage, or supplier returns and Update the transaction statuses to Deleted e.g. stock requisitions, work orders, or purchase orders etc. 

*Note: You cannot delete completed transactions.

Updating the Invoice Balance

The invoice balance must be $0.00 to complete a project. Fully complete projects result in a $0.00 invoice because the transaction payments and invoice balance equal a net $0.00. To update the invoice balance for the project, Create a Change Order to update the project total.
