Hi all,
I'm trying to delete a GL that was created in error. It has no funds associated with it yet. When I highlight the line and then click Delete, the line disappears, but when I try to save I'm blocked by an "Error #:547:Foreign Key Violation" and can't seem to get past it. The GL description did have a "-" hyphen in it, so I tried taking that out, but no dice. Does anyone know why this error is throwing?
Thanks for your advice,
Sara.
Was the GL used? Even if it was used and then backed out it won't let you delete it.
Hello Sara,
A foreign key prevents you from deleting items from the database if they have been referenced in other tables.Can you simply rename or inactivate this G/L account rather than deleting?
Ah, I see. Thank you. I'll inactivate.
Thank you, Anne. I'll inactivate.
