πŸ—‘οΈ Why Delete a Product?

Deleting products is useful when:

  • A product was registered by mistake
  • You created test products during onboarding
  • A product is no longer needed in the project

However, product deletion is restricted to protect traceability.

πŸ–±οΈ How to Delete a Product

  1. Go to the Product List
    Open the Products section from the main menu.
  2. Select the Product Record
    Click the product you want to delete.
  3. Click Delete
    Use the Delete button in the above the grid to the left.
  4. Confirm Deletion
    A confirmation popup will appear to avoid accidental deletions.

⚠️ Deletion Rules and Restrictions

Product deletion is controlled by traceability logic.
A product cannot be deleted if it has connected data.

Restriction
Why?
Children or Structure Links
If the product is part of a structure (has children), deletion is **blocked**.
Linked Documents
If the product has document references, deletion is **not allowed**.
Traceability Protection
Some products are locked from deletion to maintain **audit and historical data**.

πŸ” Who Can Delete Products?

Only users with delete permissions can remove products. Typically:

  • Project Managers
  • Administrators
  • Other roles with specific rights assigned

πŸ› οΈ Example Use Case: Cleaning Up the Product List

A system administrator cleans up the list by:

  • Removing test products created during onboarding
  • Deleting cancelled or duplicate products
  • Keeping the product list clean and accurate

If the product has connections (children, documents, etc.), deletion will be blocked to protect traceability.

❓ FAQ

Q: Can I delete multiple products at once?
No, you can only delete one product at a time.

Q: Why can’t I delete a product?
Check if the product has:

  • Children in the structure
  • Linked documents or files
  • Other references that prevent deletion

These connections block deletion to ensure traceability.

Q: Can I undo a product deletion?
No, deletion is permanent and cannot be reversed.

Q: Do I need Edit Mode to delete products?
Yes, make sure Edit Mode (F2) is active. If you still can’t delete, contact your administrator.
