Deactivate or delete a customer safely
Understand the difference between status changes and deletion, including linked-record restrictions.
Before you beginThe screen or action may be hidden when your role lacks permission, the related module is inactive, or a required setting has not been configured. Ask an administrator to review access rather than using another person’s account.
What this feature does
Understand the difference between status changes and deletion, including linked-record restrictions. Britixo CRM keeps the result connected to the relevant customer, staff member and operational history where the feature supports those relationships. That connection is important for search, reporting, client portal visibility and future automation.
Step-by-step workflow
- Open Customers → Open customer → Actions and select the relevant record or setup list.
- Use search, filters or status tabs to confirm you are working on the intended item.
- Review linked records, activity and permissions before changing status, ownership or visibility.
- Use the available edit, status, reorder, attach, copy or delete action as required.
- Complete any confirmation dialog carefully; destructive actions may be restricted when linked data exists.
- Verify the updated state in the list and record view.
- Check downstream client portal, reporting or automation effects where applicable.

Permission and data safetyDeletion, refunds, signature clearing, module changes, payment configuration and privacy actions can affect linked records or legal history. Use the least destructive action available and follow your organisation’s approval process.
