Can't delete old (unposted) AP payment groups

Hello all,

I have some old AP payment groups that were left behind by a prior accountant and I am having all sorts of issue and errors trying to delete them. All groups have one line that has zero value so I am not concerned about changes to ledger if deleted. I do not, however want to post, since these check numbers have been used since by accounting when they enter manually. Help.

Here is one of the groups. You can see that the line has zero value:

Here is the posting log:

When I try to delete the check from the tree view, nothing happens. When I try to delete the group itself, I get this error:

4

Also, when I try to exit the group, I can’t. I get this error:

6

Can anyone help me delete these groups? I need them gone to continue with first data pass for upgrade. Is there a base record related to the payment that I need to delete before I can delete the group?

Thanks so much,

Alice

I don’t know if I had the same exact error message but when I wasn’t able to delete an AP payment group, I was able to do it from the user account that created it.

I believe you need to delete the payment first, then when the group is empty, you can delete the group.

We just experienced the same thing. Epicor has a fix for this called OF_UpdateCheckHedChecknum_TASK0135203 that will update the check number on the check header to 0 for a company and group id, which will allow you to delete it and then the group.

Note - our check showed as printed already but not posted. It was also a zero dollar entry by a past accountant.

is you say preventing you exiting the group. Add a Misc Payment to it, which will prevent the message. Once you do this, try deleting the Check.

Delete the payment then delete the group.

We were able to use an updatable BAQ that accomplishes this exactly - setting ck num to 0, and then the check was marked “pending print” and I was able to delete line and then group. Thank you for everyone’s quick response. I am so happy to move forward;)
