Cannot delete a warehouse - "warehouse is used by existing record in table Stock dimensions...."

(1) ShareShare

Posted on by jwell22 79
Hello,
 
I am trying to delete a warehouse that we have never posted any transactions against. There were transactions like sales orders raised with this warehouse, but these transactions were either deleted or posted against a different warehouse in the end.
 
However, I am unable to delete this warehouse. See prompt below.
 
 
Is there any way I can get around this without having to do a stock dimensions cleanup, which seems a bit risky for the purpose of just deleting a warehouse that was never posted against...?
 
Thanks

    Hi jwell,

    As Anton mentioned, it is most likely failing on a validation if there are records in the Inventory dimensions table. For this purpose, there is a cleanup job available. Go to Inventory management >  Periodic tasks > Cleanup and run the task Inventory dimensions cleanup. This will delete records without references on transaction tables.

    There is no way around this in my opinion except removing the specific record in the Stock dimensions (InventDim) table. The record containing the warehouse in question was created in the InventDim table when the sales order was created. The record in the InventDim table does not get deleted if the unposted sales order is deleted. As always, fully test before executing in production.
