Delete Custom Alternate Purchase Units

You can delete only custom Alternate Purchase Unit (APU) records.

Deletion may be blocked in the following situations:

• The APU is used by a saved Purchase Order or Receipt Without PO. A dialog lists the transactions that reference the record and provides a link to each transaction.
• The record is required to support a Preferred APU.
• Deleting, inactivating, or clearing Preferred from the last preferred record would leave the Item and Subsidiary without a preferred vendor. A confirmation message explains the impact before you continue.

A transaction containing the same Item and Unit does not by itself prevent deletion. The transaction must be associated with the custom APU selected using restricted purchase-unit mode.

NetSuite dependent-record validation prevents you from deleting Items or Vendors referenced by an APU. You can make the Item or Vendor inactive, which temporarily suspends the related APU configuration.

1. In the Action menu, click Delete for a custom record.
2. Review the confirmation, which identifies both the Unit and Item.
3. Click Delete to continue, or Cancel to leave the record unchanged.
