Record Deletion

When deleting records there are two options that have different behaviors.

The Delete button () on the toolbar deletes a record, and the DELETE key deletes field entries while your form is in edit mode. If the form has a grid, the following applies:

When on a tab:

  • If focus is a field, the delete key will delete the data in the current field, while the toolbar delete button will delete the record.

When in a grid:

  • If a row is highlighted, either the delete key or the delete button on the toolbar will delete the record.
  • If the row is not highlighted, but focus is on a field in the grid, the delete key will delete the data in the field, while the toolbar delete button will delete the row record.
Warning: If you have pulled a transaction into a batch that has already been processed (posted in another batch), the delete functions described above will only delete the transaction (or line) from the current batch. If you want to delete the transaction (or line) from the system files, you must change the Action field in the Header (or Lines section) to D (Delete), then post the batch as usual.
