Delete parts

Parts can be deleted, but only when they aren't associated with certain records. If a part is associated with an open work order, receipt, or asset-associated BOM group, then you must remove these associations before the part can be deleted. In these cases, there are multiple options to choose from.

Can this part be deleted? Delete parts errors and next steps

Parts can't be deleted when they're associated with an open work order, a receipt, or asset-associated BOM group. Use this table to determine whether the part can be deleted or to understand and fix an error you've received. 

A part receiving a deletion error must be investigated to remove its associations before it can be deleted. Deleting a part that has multiple errors shows only one error message at a time.

For users working with large numbers of parts and associations, we suggest working with your Fiix representative to complete this process.
