  3. Choose the supported Delete, Remove, Void or Cancel action.

Code-backed validations and workflow rules

  • The action is available only when the module, current record state and required capability allow it.
  • Use the displayed validation response to correct the record; do not bypass controller or model checks.
  • Verify downstream files, notifications, linked records and status changes after saving.

Expected result and verification

  • The supported delete stale purchase import error files flow completes without bypassing permission or validation checks.
  • The resulting record, setting, status, file, delivery event or external response is visible from the relevant workspace.
  • Unexpected validation, provider or linked-record errors are investigated before retrying.

Security, privacy and operational checks

  • Apply least privilege to purchasing, vendor, invoice, payment, return, contract and report permissions.
  • Verify vendor identity, bank/payment details, tax, currency, totals and approvals before creating financial commitments.
  • Treat public links, signatures, portal files, attachments and exported reports as controlled business records.
  • Test settings and automated jobs with controlled records before production-wide use.
