#1

I have added few items which i want to delete, what options to I have to permanently delete an item and start over. As an example when I try to delete and item with SKU code “Y0-NHTG-LD2J” I get the below error Cannot delete or cancel because Item Y0-NHTG-LD2J is linked with Stock Ledger Entry MAT-SLE-2022-00007 In the “Stock Ledger Entry” I have canceled the stock but still can’t delete the item, what options do I have?

How do you delete a stock ledger?
I have already landed on the " Stock Ledger Entry" page and when selecting the ledger want to delete i don’t see a button delete.

@Usama_Qasem stock ledger entries are immutable . you won’t be able to delete the entry or the item. do you have access to the bench terminal ?

#5

I am new to this, so I don’t even know what a bench terminal is, how do I locate it?
This is a single user operations as of now, I am the sole administrator

#6

@Usama_Qasem the terminal where you do "bench migrate " and other commands

Please follow the below steps

  1. Go to Accounts Settings
  2. Check “Delete Accounting and Stock Ledger Entries on deletion of Transaction”.
  3. Then try again to delete the Item related transactional entries.

It worked, i had to first delete the stock entry, not the ledger, then delete the item. Thank you for your help.
