Why Am I Getting the "COSTS POSTED" Error When Trying to Delete a Stock Record?

Your "COSTS POSTED" error is preventing you from deleting a stock record because the system requires all associated costs to be fully cleared before allowing deletion. Here’s how you can resolve this issue:

Steps to Resolve the "COSTS POSTED" Error:

1. Check for Remaining Costs

• Open the stock record in your system.
• Navigate to the Purchase screen.
• Select Cost Analysis to review any remaining financial entries.

2. Review and Reverse Costs

• If costs do not net to zero, you must reverse any outstanding amounts.
• Costs that may still be associated with the stock record include:
  • Purchase invoices
  • Workshop expenses
  • Other charges (e.g., reconditioning costs, transportation fees)
• Reverse or correct these transactions before proceeding.

3. Address Other Potential Errors

• If you receive related errors such as:
  • "PX from stock" – The part-exchange vehicle is still linked to a deal and must be unlinked.
  • "Vehicle Consigned" – The vehicle is still consigned and needs to be un-adopted and deconsigned before deletion.
