# Deleting a Receiving

[Receivings](/sui/docs/receiving) entered by the user in which the purchase order detail line has not yet been invoiced can be deleted from within the [Receiving option](/sui/docs/receiving-option), if needed.

#### **How to delete a receiving:**

1. Select the **Receiving** menu.
2. The Receiving screen displays, and by default, shows all the purchase orders (entered by all users) with an outstanding balance. If desired, change the filters to modify the purchase orders listed on the screen.

> ***Tip:*** If needed, click the Outstanding Balance Only field to toggle it off to see all the purchase orders entered in the last six months (by default), including those without an outstanding balance.
> 
> 
> 
> Also, to search for a specific purchase order (for example, by number, vendor, or employee), enter the text to search for in the Quick Search field; the list of purchase orders will be updated (shortened) to match the criteria.

> **Note:** If the user is assigned to one or more ship to addresses (in the User Security option), only the purchase orders tied to the designated ship to addresses appear.
3. Click the **View/Edit** link to the right of the purchase order for which to delete a receiving, or double-click on the purchase order.
4. For the purchase order detail line which contains the receiving to delete, click the caret to the left of the line to expand the record, or double-click on the detail line.
5. Click the **Delete** button to the right of the desired receiving line, and then click the **Delete** button when prompted.
6. Click the **Save** button.
7. Click the **X** to close the entry screen.
