# Deleting a Purchase Order

Purchase orders entered (created) by the user with a status of Draft or Ready to Order can be deleted from within the [Purchase Orders option](/sui/docs/purchase-orders-option), if needed.

> **Note:** If necessary, contact the Business Office to delete (or cancel) a purchase order with a status of Posted from within Accounts Payable.

#### **How to delete a purchase order:**

1. Select the **Purchase Orders** menu.
2. The purchase orders previously entered (created) by the user in the last six months display showing the applicable status (Draft, Ready to Order, or Posted). If desired, change the filters to modify the purchase orders listed on the screen.
3. Click the **More** (**…**) button to the right of the purchase order to delete and select **Delete***.*
4. When prompted, click the **Delete** button to delete the purchase order.

> **Note:** To first view a purchase order and then delete it, select **View/Edit** after clicking the **More** (**…**) button in Step 3 above, and then click the **Delete** button once the purchase order is displayed (and when prompted, click the **Delete** button).

> ***Tip:*** For organizations with K12Docs, any documents added for the purchase order from within the School Accounting System or Web Link are also deleted from K12Docs the next time documents are synced.
