Deleting locations in Delta

How do I delete locations in DeltaWMS? I'm getting a message when I try to delete the locations: You cannot delete this location until the following: All Transactions/History are removed (data integrity)

Overview

From time to time, you may need to delete locations due to them not being needed anymore, and to keep your Warehouse Map looking tidy.


How to delete the locations

In order to delete the locations, you can follow the steps below:

To delete a location in the Delta warehouse map:


1. Open the Warehouse Map.
2. Select a Location you wish to delete.
3. Right-click on this and press the Delete option.

📌Note: If the location has never been used, this will delete the location.


Can I delete more than one location at a time?

It is possible to delete more than one at a time, which can be done by following the steps below:

  1. On the map, drag the move to highlight a section.

  2. Right-click on this and press the delete option.

  3. Any locations that are able to delete will do so.

📌Note: This is not instant; this may take a little time to process, depending on how many you select to delete at any one time.


What if this location has been used?

If this location has been used, you will be unable to delete these locations. This is for data integrity and auditing purposes.

What you can do, which I would recommend, is set the locations as not in use:

  1. To do this, open the Location.

  2. Go to the Location tab, and you will see there is an ‘In Use’ flag; this can be unticked.

  3. Then go on to the Rules tab.

  4. Un-tick all of the options.

  5. It is also recommended that the location code be changed to something like ‘DONOTUSE’ before the old location code. That way, all users know not to use it.

  6. Press OK to save

The location on the map will then show red, and users will know not to use it.

📌Note: If you need locations deleted, and the system will not let you. This is not something Support can do; this would require work from one of the Delta consultants.
