Error: The current record cannot be deleted for the following reasons

Issue

I'm trying to delete a pay schedule and I'm getting an error message that says the current record cannot be deleted. How do I fix it? 

 

Explanation

If you try to delete a pay schedule, the pay schedule cannot be referenced by another transaction. The transactions may include but are not limited to payroll checks, employee positions, positions, and so on. 

This error message will list the transactions that reference the pay schedule.

Cannot Delete Record

 

Solution

Instead of deleting the pay schedule, change the pay schedule status to inactive to prevent users and routines from using the pay schedule. 

 

Do this...

1. Open Connect Payroll > Organization > Pay Schedules. 

2. Remove the checkmark from the Activate Schedule checkbox. 

Activate schedule
