QUESTION

When deleting transactions with Rightworks Transaction Pro Deleter, what is the order that transactions should be deleted?

RESOLUTION

When deleting transactions with Deleter, the related transaction must first be deleted. For example, QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) will not allow an Invoice to be deleted until the related Receive Payment is first deleted.

Below is the recommended deletion order for transactions:

Sales & Accounts Receivable
Deposits
Receive Payments
Invoices
Sales Orders
Credit Memos
Sales Receipts

Purchases and Accounts Payable
Bill Payments
Bills
Item Receipts
Vendor Credits
Credit Card Charges
Credit Card Credits
Checks
Purchase Orders

Other Transactions
Journal Entries
Bank Transfers

Lists can be deleted at any time. QBDT will not remove a list item (Customer, Vendor, etc) if it has any related transactions.
