ποΈ 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.
π±οΈ How to Delete a Product
- Go to the Product List
Open the Products section from the main menu. - Select the Product Record
Click the product you want to delete. - Click Delete
Use the Delete button in the above the grid to the left. - Confirm Deletion

β οΈ 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**.
π Who Can Delete Products?
Only users with delete permissions can remove products. Typically:
- Project Managers
- Administrators
- Other roles with specific rights assigned
π 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.
β FAQ
Q: Can I delete multiple products at once?
No, you can only delete one product at a time.
Q: Why canβt I delete a product?
Check if the product has:
- Children in the structure
- Linked documents or files

These connections block deletion to ensure traceability.

Q: Do I need Edit Mode to delete products?
Yes, make sure Edit Mode (F2) is active. If you still canβt delete, contact your administrator.
