Error - 'This record is currently being used and cannot be flagged as Inactive' when trying to make a customer inactive

Updated over a week ago

When attempting to make a customer account inactive, the user may be prompted by an error message that says 'This Record is currently being used and cannot be flagged as Inactive'
​
This may be for several reasons. When a user tries to make a customer account inactive because they no longer use it, the system does several checks in the background.
​
Check the following items to try and locate the reason for receiving the error message:

  • Is the account being used as a head office account?

  • Are there any transactions in the Sales Ledger batch for this Customer?

  • Are there any transactions in the Sales Order batch for this Customer?

  • Are there any transactions in the Sales Order batch for another Customer, but delivering to this one?

  • Are there any outstanding purchase orders, with this customer as the delivery point?

  • Are there any active project codes with this customer set against it?

If all of the above have been checked and nothing has been found, please raise a new case online and reference the title of this article.
